Gods supposed perfection
#45
RE: Gods supposed perfection
I want to respond to orange's policeman analogy, but I'm not going to bother cut and pasting because it's a complete PITA on the mobile.

If I were faced with a copper holding clear evidence of my speeding and offering to forgive and forget if I'm nice to him, I'd tell him to piss off and do his worst. His proposal would be a perversion of justice and most likely, if proven, result in the case against me being thrown out. I'd also be suspicious that he might not have the evidence he claims, if he's chosen to go down the extortion route. It's not the job of the police to pass judgement and sentence; their rôle is to prevent crime and to investigate complaints. Basically, we wouldn't tolerate such unethical behaviour from our appointed law enforcement - why should we do so from imaginary one?

I recommend getting a better analogy.
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.'
