What do you mean I don't want to hear your answer? anna, you asked what would happen to you if you were a knight who killed women in the name of your God. That is not a yes or no question, that is a question of 'what would happen to you if *scenario A* occured?" question. And fr0do gave you answer.
Where did I claim that I understood God better than the creators of the Bible? I did not. That would be a ridiculous lie.
If I wanted, I could write a book about my personal beliefs, understanding, and experiences with God, and perhaps someone could learn a thing or two from it, but it would be nowhere near as all-encompassing or expansive in it's understanding of God as the Bible's is.
Why have you not relied to any of my other answers? You have singled out one tiny aspect of my post and made that the focal point for your rebuttal? Are you incapable of seeing the bigger point that I am trying to make?
God is indeed all-powerful and could, in fact, speak to the whole world. The question is, in what way would He choose to speak, and why? Perhaps He has already spoken, not only in metaphysical ways but even in plain English--Oh hey! There's this book that was written about God a long time ago! It's called the Bible!
You should read it some time!
