[QUOTE="Mark Quayle, post: 75797851, member: 410020"] So you make yourself equal with God. To your mind, the creator of absolutely all that is, the creator of very fact, is only worthy of credit, glory and praise if we are willing to give it to him, and not otherwise. You assume yourself a complete being in and of your self that God must reckon with, to be just. Are you not making a god after your own image, your own concept of him? God is not like us. If he made us, he did so for his own purposes, and so this life is not for us, but for him. We are not talking about another human being. "Moral Reason" sounds noble, but what does it mean? Apart from God there is no objective morality from which, or by which, to reason. Apart from God, 'moral reason' is equivocation, self-service definitions and uses of words, and relativism. To put it as simply as possible, we have nowhere enough information with which to judge him, specially as relates to authority of God over creation, nor do we have the station with which to judge him, nor of course the intelligence. All we know is our experience. We have to drag him down to our level, in our minds, in order to assign culpability. [/QUOTE]
