Could God be convicted of violating a Good Samaritan law?

Could God be convicted of violating a Good Samaritan law? My goodness yes, just ask any atheist et al who has a leaning toward the atheist clause. Jesus was crucified wasn't he, what would make anybody think that God per se, would be treated with any more respect and dignity.

"God is one" is an incomplete statement.

God is one what?

Sorry Mestemia, I do not believe in fairytales, be they in the positive or negative direction or intent.
Time alone will tell whether a perceived deity will or won't show up.

Why would you say that, albeit I think I understand your reasoning, this is where some of misguided elements of society are and really do need some constructive help to make the world a better place should they be released.
Though isn't there more people outside of prisons who need just as much help? Not just the criminal elements, but the decent people of society?
Last night in Australia alone, around 10,000 children, not counting women or men, went homeless and sought shelter in the streets. This number explodes to 100,000 in places like the United States and is uncountable in places like China and India. This all happened while so called, "Decent People," had a good dinner, had a warm bed to sleep in, and the majority thereof didn't lift a finger to help and the vast majority didn't even give them a single thought.

I assumed God would help change people's minds and way of thinking, not their situations ...

Would a non-interventionist god be less guilty?

To the best of my knowledge and the available evidence, God per se can do neither, else God would have done so in the Garden of Eden, there would have been no need for a flood, or Moses on Mount Sinai. Only people can do this for themselves, albeit first they have to want to do it.
I put it akin to a person cannot be hypnotised, brainwashed or further educated against their will under normal circumstances, their own intelligence would stop it every time.

Most certainly not, in many ways they would be more guilty. Sort of like the Atheist who claims to be better than the theist, then behaves and acts just like the radical theist who they condemn.

I agree. I don't think anyone on RF, whether they be Christian, Muslim, Jewish or LDS, is willing to argue that God does anything but sit and watch as catastrophes happen, though He could certainly prevent them. What is kind of fun from an atheist's perspetive, is watching them try again and again to come up with some theory to explain this that is something more than laughable.

First you would have to assume that God was able to intervene.

If you think that is fun, you should see it from the Agnostic perspective, we just don't get to see the theist try to explain these perspectives, we get to watch the atheist try to counteract them with creations of their own perspectives.
The really funny thing, the knowledge is unknown to us, yet both argue and debate as if the knowledge is known to us. God I love human intelligence and the associations it can make. If nothing else, human intelligence sure is creative.

Really? What atheist perspectives have you encountered? Whichever ones they are, you should know that these perspectives have nothing to do with atheism. Atheism is simply non-belief in God, and has no specific perspective.
