What you're really saying is "Please pretend the inherant hypocracy in my religion doesn't exist."I'm saying that you can't apply human standards to God's actions.

I do. Your God doesn't measure up to my moral standards. That's why I'm not a Christian.I'm saying that you can't apply human standards to God's actions.
Yes, to them, a woman having an abortion is bad because they want people to have many children for Jesus so that they can surgically remove their brains after they're born, fleece them for life, fill many prisons, or murder them outright, all in the name of God of course.Just to be clear, a woman having an abortion is bad, but God killing countless innocent babies is perfectly fine. Is that what you are saying?
What I'm really saying is that God isn't bound by your personal standards. You're elevating yourself to a position where you think you have standing to judge Him.What you're really saying is "Please pretend the inherant hypocracy in my religion doesn't exist."
Do you refuse to recognize a policeman's authority because he doesn't measure up to your moral standards? How about an American president you think is a scoundrel? Do you ignore his authority?I do. Your God doesn't measure up to my moral standards. That's why I'm not a Christian.
Of course God can be judged. You are saying he shouldn't be. Non Christians have no such obligation. We judge him.What I'm really saying is that God isn't bound by your personal standards. You're elevating yourself to a position where you think you have standing to judge Him.
Apples and oranges. Those authorities can prove their existence.Do you refuse to recognize a policeman's authority because he doesn't measure up to your moral standards? How about an American president you think is a scoundrel? Do you ignore his authority?
God also killed the first born of EgyptSo, it's okay for God to kill, and then for you to worship a killer, but it's not okay for humans to kill?
God said humans were made in his image.... he's a killer, we're killers, what's the difference?

You don't have standing to do so. Does a toddler have standing to judge his Daddy for not being home in the middle of the day to play with him? Does a toddler have standing to judge his policeman father for slamming a fleeing suspect to the ground when he is told he can't hit people?Of course God can be judged. You are saying he shouldn't be. Non Christians have no such obligation. We judge him.
Yeah, Pharoah should have let them go long before it got to that stage. You seem to forget that he had 9 previous escalations before that one.God also killed the first born of Egypt
Oh, yes, it's the old, "do a trick" business again. He's proven Himself many times, but the question remains the same, do you recognize the authority of someone with whom you disagree or you do not like?Apples and oranges. Those authorities can prove their existence.
Are you suggesting that people should pay homage to the devil If there's a devil in charge?the question remains the same, do you recognize the authority of someone with whom you disagree or you do not like?
The devil has some authority, just not as great as God's. Note that even Michael wouldn't argue with him over Moses' body but called on God's authority instead. And yes, we are to obey the law, pay taxes, etc. Jesus did not command disobedience to the government or law, and His nation was under Roman control at the time.Are you suggesting that people should pay homage to the devil If there's a devil in charge?
How does that square with "thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven"? See Genesis 3:14...
The devil has some authority
Many have relinquished control over themselves to him without realizing what they're doing.The devil has no authority over me or anyone who exerts their will to fulfill genesis 3:14 on earth.
A persons authority over their own soul, free will, is guaranteed and enforced by the Divine.

Yes, unlike Trump I do. However, as a non believer, I don't recognize the authority of a God. I put your God on the same shelve as Santa Claus and wood fairies.Oh, yes, it's the old, "do a trick" business again.
