A good argument for God's existence (long but worth it)

Does MK believe value is relative or absolute?

It is both.  It exists in both forms.

Under what circumstances is value absolute? Under what circumstances is it relative?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):

"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)

We noticed Wink
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

Better question: how is that NOT a fucking gargantuan contradiction?
Religions were invented to impress and dupe illiterate, superstitious stone-age peasants. So in this modern, enlightened age of information, what's your excuse? Or are you saying with all your advantages, you were still tricked as easily as those early humans?

There is no better way to convey the least amount of information in the greatest amount of words than to try explaining your religious views.

No, it doesn't.  Value is the property of being good, as evaluated by a subjective agent.  There's nothing absolute about it, and it cannot sensibly be said so.

Look, I get it. God is so great, we cannot comprehend him and so cannot apply our puny definitions of good and evil to him.

But that just makes evil meaningless the other direction as well. If killing innocent babies in a mass flood isn't evil for god, and god is great, then why is it evil for us to do something similar? Should we not aspire to be more perfect, more like god?

And this is where you argument falls flat. If our definition of evil does not apply to god, then all of it becomes meaningless.

Your notion of god is just an alien, so foreign we cannot understand it. Only to be worshiped to avoid pain and punishment.

If the idea is that god is loving, that is a human idea, with human concepts behind it. If god cannot fit our definitions of loving, not evil, etc, then he is simply an alien monster possibly without any sort of notion of human ideas like love or evil, nor any way to understand them, much like I cannot know what a shark feels when it senses prey with its electrical receptors. I simply don't have anything close enough to reference it.

Personally it seems that you and other god bothered are simply projecting your own feelings out into the void.

This was a good question.

In so far as our vision seeks to know from the vision of the absolute, and gain light from light, it is objective. However, as the luminosity and angle of perceptions are limited, it is subjective. 

And as for those who rely on ignorance to value and rely on the dark sorcery and false self for value, they are walking towards shadows and shadows, and are immersed in confusion, they have little relationship to objective value or valuing, but there is always the Guide who sees them exactly as they are, with them, calling them back to God, though they may belittle it as nothing and constantly ignore him, and the witnesses vision and thundering call in their soul.

And as for God's vision, is it the vision of the absolute, and in this sense, even the witness of the time doesn't know people truly "you do not know them while we know them" "no one knows them but God", neither do Angels neither does the witness of the people of time, their leader and guide who is closest to vision of people's actions and states to God's vision, but the vision of the guide is truth as well, it just limited truth. None of it is false.

While disbelievers they are immersed in confusion and shadows of falsehood and vision through sorcery of lies and webs of deceit,  and believers have a light from the Prophets entrusted to them, by which they should walk and make it out of the confusion.

I reread it and find it flows well and proves God conclusively. At least show me you understand it.
