Problem of good and evil for an atheist

[Entropist]

That makes no sense Ent. To interpret the will of God who is understood to be completely just has to have the aim of ultimate justice. I dealt with it already and you repeated the illogicality.

No, it makes no sense at all, which is precisely my point. Whatever this god does is "moral," including wiping out whole populations and ordering genocide. But anyone else that does it is wrong, because they aren't Yahweh. According to what you're saying, your god gets off the hook because of how you define him, and so therefore he does can only be good. All you have is a syllogism to coldly defend and justify monstrous actions.

I fail to see the distinction between this...



...and this...



...regardless of WHO is giving orders or doing the slaughter, or what the ultimate goal supposedly is. A moral failing of my own, I suppose, eh? According to your logic, the victims of his "wrath" (in the first picture, at any rate) are just broken eggs for omlets to be made ("ultimate justice").

Question, Frodo: Would you be willing to slit the throats of women and children because Joshua commanded you to do so because they claimed their (and your) god said to do so?
