Why should He have to? If you were an all-powerful being, what obligation would you face to treat something you created as you would wish to be treated, given you could wipe them out in a blink and remake them at will?
Funny you should mention that, as God's miracles seem to get less and less spectacular as time goes on.
. So you can do & say anything as long as you believe & everything is OK. You can do anything & justify it in your mind. But there's a problem if we say something you believe is wrong. .
. This is in the context of a god not only omnipotent but also supposedly benevolent & loving & claiming the moral high ground. .
The only issue with that is we are assuming that our "mortal comprehension" is able to ascertain the truth and "greater good" of His "divine plan." Overall, if one is to believe in God, and that there is a "divine plan", and that all things "happen for a reason"... isn't trying to fit such a plan into our admittedly limited worldview and perception a bit, i dunno... presumptuous of us?
. Then we cannot call god good or its plan a greater good. We cannot know whether god is good or evil, sane or insane, loving or hateful, intelligent or stupid, benevolent or malevolent, mature or a brat. We cannot say robbery, rape, murder, etc is good or bad. Maybe I did evil yesterday by fixing someone's wheelchair & all last month by taking care of 4 kittens found in a dumpster. Any strong opinion or belief about god or morals would be presumptuous. .
. . Scriptures contradict each other. Another example: Yes, it says to be like god yet it says to obey god. .
is it because people seem to habitually pretend to care about you and find out later they care about something else? do you feel like a fool for trusting them? you should feel good about yourself for being decent enough to trust people and pity for those that deceived you.
Because they're claiming to have found "the one Truth to rule them all", yet they have no proof? Naturally people are sceptical of bs like that.
Generally, we do. We humans are quite good and altruistic and most use reciprocity daily. When we forget to add to each others security and order, that is when it hits the fan. The world needs what it has always needed for full peace. A God/Man. We refuse to elect such a God/Man. Regards DL
