[quote=Brovo] Really? Because part of my personal morality is in holding no one over any other one in the face of law. If you commit a murder, be you rich or poor, young or old, ugly or beautiful, deity or mortal, you get the same sentence, and the same judgement. [/quote] I consider God to be a "great guy", yes. Though, you kind of have to buy into the Bible's morality to understand why. For example, a tenet of the Christian religion is that humanity is inherently evil. The way I see it, God doesn't punish people, so much as they're allowed to opt-out of his aid. So yes, I do see why atheists dislike God's morals. On another note, people with a skewed sense of morality might find decent people to be immoral. So, it shouldn't be that surprising that a perfect being might irk imperfect creatures somewhat. On the topic of Christian Extremism: I was challenging the term "Extremist". Many of these so called 'fundamentalists' act more like the Pharisees than Jesus and use methods that Jesus would likely not approve of. As such, they are hardly 'Christian'. [quote=Bravo] I'd like to know what happened, were some of those genocides incidental edits or something? What did he do, and what did the editors of the bible do? And what does he do nowadays?... Does he have a concept of time? Does he feel emotions? What's his favourite colour? Does he love ferrets like I do? Ah... Whatever. Still. Thanks for making me a living thing, but I hope you don't mind me living my own life by my own morals until I can get some of the nastier shit in the bible settled mate." [/quote] I'd imagine God would answer these questions like yay: (of course, these are hypothetical. I'm don't consider myself a prophet) 1. It's theoretically possible that some were. The Bible doesn't necessarily have to be 100% accurate for the 'point' to be true. The Genesis flood might be an example of this. Every religion has a flood story, and Judaism was still breaking away from its parent religion at the time the book of Genesis was written (same goes for the book of Job). I'm not saying I think they're necessarily wrong though, however, I don't consider someone saying Noah's flood never happened to be outright blasphemy per say. However, something like say, the book of Exodus is pretty straightforward biblical canon. 2. He probably does more than could actually be described to humans. He's an omnipresent being, after all. In general, he manages the universe (and in my opinion, the multiverse as well). If you mean 'why does he not do miracles today like in old?', I'd imagine the answer is simply that God doesn't consider very overt alterations to the cosmos to be necessary at the moment, possibly even harmful. After all, if he heals a sick person, he stops a doctor from doing the same (which might have bad consequences for the doctor). And arguably, many natural events could have God's influence in them. After all, who made the Doctor? Other than BBC, of course. 3. God actually does not experience time in the sense that humans do. "A day for God is a thousand years, and a thousand years a day" 4. He does. "For God so loved the world", after all. At the very least, he feels anger and compassion. However, his emotions might not necessarily function like human emotions do. He is, after all, a timeless omniscient being. How he thinks would obviously be a mystery to humans. 5. God probably doesn't have one. Color is essentially an illusion of light; fairly meaningless to him. Even if he does have a favorite color, it might not necessarily be one that human eyes can perceive. (some organisms perceive colors that human eyes can't). Jesus probably did have a favorite color, however. I have a haunch it's white, but I have zero evidence to back that up. 6. God probably loves ferrets as much as you do, yes.
