In your opinion: In the Bible does GOD exhibits more poor moral choices or good moral choices?

Judgment wasn't so hot either.

You have no authority to judge God.
If you think you do, you will be sorry after it is too late to make a change.

God exhibits no "poor moral choices."

The Abrahamic religions GOD shows biggotry, hatred and many mental illnesses. No man defined GOD is real just fairy stories. There was no Adam and Eve, no great flood, no heaven or hell, no angles not devils other than in sick minds.

God NEVER!!!!!!! Makes any Poor Moral Choices. Everything He Does is Done for a Reason.

I will not bite the bait and question the judgment of God! I want Him to Judge me one day!

the god of the universe no body.

Who knows what the original "morality" was. It's a conformity-thing. Good morals, bad morals can change depending on what needs to be conformed to. Since the bible engages in slavery and women beating, child stoning and much, much more, Gods morals could possibly be very different from ours today. In our culture it might be morally right for the "boys to go out and have a drink and leave the women behind". In our culture might be a moral obligation to kill your next-door neighbor and your wife if you find the two of them having sex. Is God "morally" in tune with what was done to Job? It might have been. In my moral circle "if your not cheating you're not trying" to be morally correct.
That goody-two-shoe action of being "morally competent" deals strictly with that persons world and might not make moral sense to me.

"Man created God in his own image" - Robert Heinlein

Heinlein's view was somewhat inconsistent on this point several times, but then you'
d actual;ly have to read almost everything he ever wrote.
The Story JOB is where this cam from I think. God's quiet provincial gets interrupted several times in "Time enough for Love"

Actually, I have read every book he ever published, except the last one: "To Sail Beyond The Sunset."

There is no inconsistency whatsoever in Heinlein's opinion of religion.

It's not for humans to judge the morality of God

Why not? Man created GOD, so why can't we question? Turth trumps all

According to you God doesn't exist, so your comment is illogical.

not at all. I just don't believe in the man made GOD

You must have your doubts, otherwise you wouldnt be so active. 85% of your posts over the past week have been about Christianity. I do not believe the loch ness monster exists and I have not made a mention (apart from just then). You do not believe in a Christian God....your activity speaks for itself.

What an answer!

It would depend on which god of which bible you are referencing. The God that I believe in is perfect and doesn't exhibit poor choices. Some things that my God has done, as referenced in the Holy Bible, would seem to most non- believers as horrible and inconceivable things. But I know that I am not God's judge, He is my judge and He will judge ALL souls. I don't understand some things that He has done, but I do know that only one half of the total story has been told in the Holy Bible, and by faith I believe two things - 1. That the God I believe in is perfect, and everything that He does is not required to meet with my approval, and 2. I will find out the rest of the story, and why He did the things that seem to some people as uncalled for. He knows the reasons, and sometime I will find out (when it's time for me to know), just why. But I have no doubt that everything He did was on the up and up, we mortals just can't handle the truth, and some things are not meant for mortals to know.

a magnificent response

Not with our pea sized brains! We are still in the infancy of understanding! All we need to do is remember God is Love! Love one another as I love you!!!

I don't make moral decisions based only on the Bible - The Bible was written by many different men and women and then edited and translated. There are many good moral choices, but you are the mercy of other people ideas when you rely only on the Bible for your moral choices, common sense can do a lot of good. Just go into a Christian book store and look at how many versions there are and how different each one is. The Catholic version has a book that the King James don't have.

God is God he knows all he see's all we are only able to see are small little world and thank we got problums.We never created a planit or even a creature so who are we to question the Father.I trust in the Lord and his choices have always been good for me.Blessings.

We are thinking intelligent human being and have every right to question the loonacy in the bible.

We are thinking intelligent human BEINGS, and have every right to question the LUNACY in the BIBLE..... I thought that there was a bit of lunacy in the Bible when I was younger, too. But when I grew up to be the ripe old age of 8, I found out that I didn't know diddly about ' WHAT GOD WAS DOING' in His 'Word' I discovered that many of the things that people condemned Him for as tragedies, were for proving people and trying them to see if they would come out of the trial as a believer or not.

Well, I am at the ripe old age of 64 and I question the genocide of the bible as something a loving and forgiving god would do.

I was a christian for over 30 years and have studied religions, history, science and archeology for another 30 and the only conclusion that comes out of that research is that is that a perfect god does not demand constant worship, is not jealous, should not have to lie,to get his work done, would not command genocide simply because others do not believe in him, would never command the slaughter of innocent children and the unborn.

Any god that cannot/does not uphold the same standards of morality that he expects of those he creates, is not really a god. Any god who does not wants his creations to have worldly knowledge is also not secure enough to be a god either.

The constant drum beat of atheists claiming no belief in God but only asking questions and making comments about God strikes me as clear evidence of their cognitive dissonance regarding their disavowal of God's existence.

Atheism has nothing to do with beliefs. Obviously you have no idea at all what Atheism is about.

actually I do have a well developed and accurate idea of what atheism is about. And it plays out just exactly like a religion.

That's very true, gryphon.

In point of fact atheism is about the absolute BELIEF that there is no God. It is a faith statement they cannot prove.

Oddly enough, saying that any higher power exists is a faith statement that can't be proven either. :O

Spoken like a christian who with no ability to understand concepts outside of a religious context.

Atheism is the absence of god-belief. All else is embellishment. Atheism has no dogma, no rites, no holy books, no places of worship and no clergy of any description. It offers no political opinions and no world view.

So religion can manifest itself in many forms. Despite this, atheism is clearly not a religion, as it is an absence in belief in Supreme Beings, supernatural events and a soul that survives death, or any combination of the above.

It is not a religion, it is the absence of religion.

The whole Bible is contradicting. He showed both. If you were to base your opinion on the Old Testament, it's poor over good. If you were to base your opinion on the New Testament, I think it may be good over poor.

Well, he killed more people personally than Satan, anyway.

Maybe Death is a blessing?????

And sends them to hell? What a god.

Life is hell. not death!

OR IS IT

dun dun dun...
