The Bible: A Moral book?!

RE: The Bible: A Moral book?!
Where does the bible say God is all loving? As you point out the presents of Hell speaks to the contary. Matter of fact if you take the time to read the bible you will find there are those who God Hates.

So your argument is, that god hates people? Tongue
If I were to create self aware beings knowing fully what they would do in their lifetimes, I sure wouldn't create a HELL for the majority of them to live in infinitely! That's not Love, that's sadistic. Therefore a truly loving god does not exist!

Quote:The sin is against an infinite being (God) unforgiven infinitely, therefore the punishment is infinite.

Dead wrong.  The actions of a finite being measured against an infinite one are infinitesimal and therefore merit infinitesimal punishment.

Quote:Some people deserve hell.

I say again:  No exceptions.  Punishment should be equal to the crime, not in excess of it.  As soon as the punishment is greater than the crime, the punisher is in the wrong.

Most important among them is the protection of the pack itself, as a whole. Add individual goals and mating rituals and you've got the making of a moral code waiting to happen.

No gods required.

I see your view and the only thing I would amend is your sequence.

The morality we first see, or what some would call morality, is to the self and it is to insure that we survive to then consider the pack. The cooperation shown is more profitable to survival than the competition that later emerges.

Is it righteous to create suffering and death without cause?
If you read the story of Job, you see that God admits to the evils he did to Job were done without just cause.

From MPOV, that is evil and anything but righteous.
Only those whose morals have been compromised by religion will see God being moral in this story.
