Agreed. Philosopher, John Leslie, uses the terms "ethical requiredness," when applying this to "God." It's somehow easier for most, emotionally, simply to drop the God thing, as an expectation in their lives. High expectations can mean high disappointments. Physicist, Guilio Prisco suggests that humanities descendents take up the burden of "God" as an idea, on making things better in life.

I'm sure there will be no injustice done to anybody. The analogies you give are between humans. We do not know our own selves: subconscious, composition details, thoughts, mind, etc. , let alone claiming to know another human. We cannot apply that reasoning to the One who created us, sustains us and is aware of everything manifest and hidden throughout the heavens and earth. Samiya Then you have a different moral standard for God. If a human tortures someone for fun, that's bad, but if God does it, that's fine. -- Stathis Papaioannou -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Everything List" group.
