The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
RE: The Reasons why "Just Following Jesus" Doesn't work
Justice doesn't have anything to do with whether or not someone likes someone else. A just court judge can think the defendant is a piece of crap, but judges him on his actions. Not how much money the defendant gave him prior to the court hearing. Your eternity being based on mindless obedience to something that can't be concretely proven is not a just system. Might makes right is about the worst idea you could come up with, because all it would take is someone else overpowering the current ruler and the very concept of goodness, justice, and all that gets shifted.

Hence why old testament Yahweh seems so worried about people elevating themselves to his level in the garden story and the babel story, to say the least. If he's really obtained compelte mastery over everything, and is truly impossible to overthrow, he must consider himself very lucky to be in that position.
Poe's Law: "Without a winking smiley or other blatant display of humor, it is impossible to create a parody of Fundamentalism that SOMEONE won't mistake for the real thing."
