This is incontrovertible proof that God is evil. God does not live by his own go

That may be so, if there is a God, but scriptures say we are to emulate him as he is our best example.

Do you think a God and judge who breaks his own laws to be a good God?

Or are you afraid to judge what is said of him?

In which part of scripture does it say we are to emulate God?

God is supposed to be the final word in morals and ethics. So believers tell me.

Strange that you would not think that theists would automatically seek to follow such goodness.

But tio your request here is one of a number of the quotes that show we are to emulate God.

Matthew 5:48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Which makes anything He does inherently good. He is above the Law.

So you are thinking that genocide is good then. Right?

More direct to your answer.
Would you tolerate our human judges breaking the laws they write?

If not why would you give a God the pass to do so?

Because there is nothing I can do about it. If God is evil then he is evil. Nothing I can do about it.

Yes there is.

You can judge him so and pass on your good judgement to those who think otherwise and adore genocide when done by their God.

For evil to grow, all good people need do is nothing.

So is that why you are here? Shouldn't you be visiting a Christian group instead?

Yikes.

This is all true but it does not explain why people would praise and follow an evil genocidal God who kills when he could just as easily cure.

Well, given God's clearly unlimited power and callous disregard for any ethical standards, the good money is on praise and following and hoping to keep off the radar :laugh:

Few, if any, natural animals kill when they can cure or kill babies and children because of anger at the parents. I cannot recall any natural system doing so

We can do lessons on anthropology and naturalism later, right now you're busy teaching theology.

That is up to you.

Do you love your wrong thinking neighbors?

If so, this quote might guide you if you think it a good one.

Proverbs 3:12 For whom the Lord loveth he correcteth; even as a father the son in whom he delighteth.

So I've agreed God is Evil, but i'm still going to apply the teachings of the Bible?

Is the lord correcting me? am I the Lord?

I'm clearly missing something, and I am sure it is just my own lack of understanding - Can you run that by me again, in smaller words, so I might better comprehend?

Seems you do not believe much of the bible. This is good.

Well, you didn't say that the biblical God was evil. Your conclusion was that an actual god (provided it exists) would be. It's not an expressed premise of your case that the Bible represents any bit of that being, or that it could.

But those who do, are stuck with an evil genocidal God.

No, you aren't. Whether there is a god and whether it is evil or genocidal does not depend on what anybody believes on the matter... Unless of course you are talking about the biblical character as opposed to an actual god that either did or does exist, but you didn't specify that and so by default I'd assume you mean the latter. On that note, even if you are talking about the biblical character it is still wholly irrelevant whether we believe that the book is an accurate descriptor of something real. We can discuss characters within narratives independent of whether they have real world counterparts or whether those counterparts have anything in common with them.


See, this is what happens if you start with your conclusions and then completely skip the premises. The extent to which your argument can be addressed, it falls apart.

I could have done all you say but as I see it, God, either real or imaginary, is still evil, so my all encompassing "God" in the O.P., is accurate either way.

I did have Yahweh in mind more than the other Gods, real or imaginary to all who have faith in God, and all the Gods, as unofficial purveyors of social manipulation and control, are all evil to me.

Is that bible quote not a wise saying? If so, you should not care about the source of it.

To your last.
In the way Gnostic Christians think, yes you are the Lord and your own master.

That was the good news that most ignore in the words the scribes put in Jesus' mouth.

Oh, so you mean it doesn't matter whether a god follows the golden rule? Any gods are evil, no matter what? Then why is there any need to prove it? And how is your relying on the golden rule at all helpful? Shifting the goal post again, are we?
