God and privacy laws
March 6, 2015 at 6:33 am
Given that God is watching me the whole time, without my permission, is he invading my privacy?

If you knocked on the door of many Christians and told them you'd be setting up cameras to monitor their every move in case they break the law then they'd probably get their gun out. Even if you said it was just to monitor whether they broke any Christian rules, they'd still be upset. Yet God is wonderful for doing it. Why?

Because we're so sinful and depraved that we need to be watched by the ultimate and infallible authority 24/7.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalm 14, KJV revised edition

Many of these idiots don't mind being watched by the NSA for example. The nothing to hide bullshit is often heard from those who cry liberty at every given opportunity.

As for god, I guess we have to wait for an Edward Snowden angel to turn up to know the real extent.

I think you're right, fundamentalist religion attracts or produces people with that kind of authoritarian mind set.

God has noted your bad attitude here.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Haha some real good responses already!

I never even had that thought as "god" as a big NSA Camera watching all of us. What a great way to keep people in line... hmm... I wonder how effective this big camera has worked? .. Is god the only one that can review the footage?
