Then why do people of religion often have the lowest standards of conduct?
Maybe that is just you confirming your bias.
Pedophile priests, Christians in the US government that attack other countries for no reason and kill hundreds of thousands. The GOP, ...
Sure, the Church had a problem. It is largely in the past and was a mirror of society's free love movement and was largely a homosexual problem and not a pedophile problem. So what? Just because men don't meet standards does not mean the standard should be lowered or not exist.
But the same god that rules you now, ruled the church in the past. And allowed (or ignored) these things. Back then, it was morally acceptable for those pedophile/homosexual relations in the church. Obviously, priests need to let loose once in a while, so it was cool back then. But now, it's not cool.
It's the same God. Why did He allow it back then, and shuns it now? Did He change his mind?
Doesn't he keep watch over the peeps that are supposed to be representing him here on Earth? Doesn't he see the bad things they have been doing in his name?
Either he doesn't see it, or he doesn't care... Meanwhile, back on Earth, we have to deal with you deviant, perverted buttheads that want to take over the world, using His name as your excuse for your sins, with nothing but lies and threats to back you up.
The other answer is He does see it, and He promotes it... In which case, you are following the personification of evil, rather than good.
In terms of what "god" is based on in ancient pre-bible history, you are following Enlil, and not Enki.
