However, by what standards? Your own? Why should that matter? Your standard is irrelevant and baseless. The authority that has damned you has set the standard. It is just, it cannot be cold. These are simply your own misunderstandings. I think that your god is cold and unjust....but how many times have you argued against that statement-with me- (not to mention others)? Are you granting yourself (and your god) some claim that you would not allow me (and my lack thereof)? That seems rather convenient.......
That is why our answers differ in the way that it does.
My standards are the same method many of you use to judge the God of the bible a blood thirsty tyrant, and as such can not worship Him.
So 'my standard' is as every bit as valid as yours from a general world view.
It just so happens that 'My standards' are indeed based off the God of the bible and as such I will not serve another God. If some other god has placed the bible in the world to screen out or sift people then I gladly count myself amongest the sifted out. Because from the values I see in the bible I can judge any other god as unjust. As a result I do not want to be apart of any spiritual soceity that the God of the bible is not Heading up.
