If he were to command of me that I kill homosexuals and people who work on the Sabbath, than I would be forced to do so. However, that order was given to the Israelites for a reason I do not know. NOT ME. Perhaps if I was born an Israeli I might feel differently.
Thankfully, that act has not been asked of me and I am glad because I personally have nothing against homosexuals or working on a Sunday.
How could you know that it is your lord commanding you to do these things? Or indeed anything that you say you are already commanded to do? One of your compadres in christ has already told me that I am deceived, simply because I don't happen to think as you do. How can you posibly know that you are not deceived? What metric am I apparently missing?
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
