Only man is fit to be God.

[Esquilax]

God is omniscient, duh. Before the crime after the crime is the same to Him. Therefore if he says this will happen if we do not take out these people, guess who gets taken out before sunset on the sabbath?

Exactly what I thought: "God said so, so it's okay."

This is circular reasoning. The end.

The hitler analogy is also a play on omniscience, or rather humanity's nearest approximation to it. In that if we have the benfit of future knoweledge (if you had a chance to kill baby hitler/knowing who he would become) would you?

If I had the benefit of future knowledge I could arrange it so that the bad future doesn't come to pass, without having to kill anybody.

If you know an out come of a singular human life was absolute and it served the greater good would you take a life is the question.. Then one step further would you take out a whole race of people if you knew for absolute certain they would doom the whole planet?

So god drowns babies to save the planet, rather than just saving the planet without drowning babies, which he could totally do. And you're okay with it, because god did it.

Just thought I'd phrase that accurately.
