It’s possible that my standards are wrong. However one can only judge by what one knows, thus if i knew that God raped my son i would not serve him. Only somebody who lived in fear of such a being would serve such a being and perhaps even attempt to justify such a God to hide their fear of the alternative.
A truly evil God would not care about my free will; therefore, if such a god existed, would I have a choice but to serve him?
If there is truly a moral law, then this necessarily entails a God that is essentially a pure actual expression of love.
Clearly, you would serve your definition God, because by your definition God is good regardless of whether we understand his actions or not. However you would be entirely sane to reject a being claiming to be God that commands you to sacrifice your sons and daughters to him.What valid and sane impulse would I be following to judge God when God, by the nature of his being and our definition of a Supreme Being, would have the final judgment over me?
Dude, you are no Protestant. You don’t represent us and you don’t even believe with a lame trap question like that. There are only maybe three answers here that are emphatically NO! People keep answering and Achilles just keeps tweaking. Or maybe twerking, cuz it is an evil question in itself. Look at all the replies where God is capitalized in context with other gods and evil. If you are using a, an, or an (s), then it is a small “g’”, people, so please be careful. God is GOD and is being offended every time you do that which Satan is really enjoying. See what this question does? Hopefully i did not make that mistake anywhere here. Anything other than God is an imposter. A Holy God is a God of free will, an evil one forces you like in Revelation and Daniel which you have read i presume, Achilles, so why ask? To cause a ruckus and divide us. We do that to ourselves, thank you. We should prolly capitulate (i know) the whole word GOD all the time. Look at how holy He is to the Jewish faith. They hold Him in such high regard they don’t even use the v-wel “o”. About love, well search “agape love” and try to conceive it. I try. What a wonderful world this would and will be! I was being polite the first time i answered so now i will defend God, though He does not need me to defend Him. But it is our duty. Now go spend time with your loving family. My immediate one hates me, which explains me being here. But that’s what happens with miserable non believers. Merry Christmas!
Would you believe it entirely sane to reject a nation that requires its sons and daughters to sacrifice themselves in war for the good of the nation?
For the greater good, men must sometimes go to war. But i would never blindly fight for a corrupt agenda based on misguided loyalty and i certainly would not want my kids to.
A sacrifice is a sacrifice. It doesn’t matter whether its to God or to the State.
If you are saying that you would gut your children if a being claiming to be God (or a religion) asked you to, then i can only look down at the floor and shake my head.
I am not an atheist.Atheists are famous for demanding sacrifices to the State, and more often than not, as in the case of North Korea or Maoist China or Stalinist Russia, sacrifices to a wicked State that persecutes all religions.
Get off your high atheist horse!
What are you?
You know God isn’t controlling everything? That opposing forces like demons like Satan exist as a result of free will? That everyone has free will (so someone getting drunk and deciding to still drive for example) and makes their own choices
A manifestation of God’s infinite knowledge (created out of God’s knowledge). What are you?What are you?
Of course I would serve him… grilled? baked? broiled? sautéed? skewered?.. not sure… but definitely on a silver platter.
He is evil. No question. And no, I wouldn’t.
