Though shalt not kill. Would you do so for your God?

Though shalt not kill. Would you do so for your God?
Though shalt not kill. Would you do so for your God?

Scripture is full of people who killed under God command. He ordered women raped and babies heads smashed against stones and his followers did just that. Even though they only had voices in their head and what could have been an illusion such as a burning bush. Further, scripture says that Satan has the power to deceive the whole world. How could those followers have know for sure that what they were hearing was God or Satan? How could you?

God himself is shown as killing in scriptures. Even setting up the first born of Egypt. God even sets the conditions to murder his own son needlessly.

It was God's plan from the beginning to have Adam and Eve eat the forbidden fruit. This can be demonstrated by the fact that the bible says that Jesus "was crucified from the foundations of the Earth," that is to say, God planned to crucify Jesus as his ransom for the forgiveness of sin, before he even created human beings or sin.

If God had not intended humans to sin from the beginning, why did he build into the Creation this solution for sin? Why create a solution for a problem you do not anticipate? If he did anticipate it, why not make a different plan insuring that sin does not come up.

God knew that the moment he said "don't eat from that tree," the die was cast. The eating was inevitable. Eve was merely following the plan.

What kind of God would plan and execute the murder of his own son when there was absolutely no need to?

Only an insane God. That’s who.

And here I had the foolish notion that religion and God were all about the veneration and celebration of life. Bah. It is my view that bible God does not venerate life at all and should be rejected by any moral man who does. Seek God my friends. You already live by a better law in secularism. This is wise. You have already rejected God’s law, now all you need do is follow your heart and seek a better God. There is a better Gods out there.

God and scripture indicate that an eye for an eye represents a fair penalty for offences.
God then turn around and kill for many reasons that are way less than an eye for an eye. Unruly children and fornicators and many more are condemned for infraction that are nowhere near killing.

Does though shalt not kill mean anything to God?
He disregarded it constantly and has men kill for him for mundane reasons.

Is God sanctioned killing murder if the stipulated eye for an eye is exceeded?

Would you do as the ancients did and kill babies by smashing their heads on stones or stone your own unruly child? Would you rape and kill even if you thought that God was real and directing you?

The question is would you kill someone if god asked you to.

A reasonable person will say "No," without hesitation.

Anyone who says "Yes" is not being reasonable.

Only a Christian (trying to protect god from the Problem of Evil) finds it necessary to avoid the question by saying "God would never ask me to do that", or "My money doesn't tell me to kill ppl."

I notice than on another thread you have said:

I like to ask if christians would kill your own child or mother with no good reason other than god asked them to. christians will sometimes attempt to skirt around that difficult question by answering "no I wouldn't, because I'd know it was a test"

I see.

Thanks.

Theists don't seem to like it for some weird reason.

Your mistake is thinking that the book says thou shalt not kill, it says thou shall not murder.

Killing gays is not murder, killing blacks is not murder, killing unbelievers is not murder, killing X is not murder (substitute X for anyone different and you don't like)

That's how they rationalise it.
