Do you see God as bad ?

[Nimos]

Are God bad because you disagree with what God does, or because God does not do what YOU want him to do?
Do you believe God should follow what you want him to do for you, or would you gain what you wish for if you chose to do as God ask of human beings?

I simply see the character of God as an immoral being, and even if he were proven to exist, he would not be worthy of worthshipping. My personal view on other people, morality, equality, equal rights and so forth compared to God, is like night and day.

I don't wish for a potential God to do as I want him to do, but I would demand an explanation, I don't think that is beyond reason. But again, even in that department he fails and apparently does not feel obligated to do so. Which again, is exactly the opposite of my views. So to put it as simply as possible, God fails in pretty much everything in my point of view.

How you see God?

 

[SalixIncendium]

God is Good. Erroneous Concepts of God held by humans leave a lot to be desired. Much of scripture such as the Old Testament reflects a God created in the image of the authors.

Oh, the irony of this statement.

Well, do you think that ordering ripping apart pregnant women with a sword, dashing kids against walls, etc. Is good, or bad?

I don't disagree with what God does, even though I don't fully understand everything, but I have faith that in due time things will become more clear. Patience is the key.
It's not God's job to do what I want; He is not my servant. I believe I'm the one who should do what He wants, not the other way around. Humans are fickle, emotional creatures who often lack the capacity to see things long term. From my personal experience, by following what I think is God's will, I've gained nothing but good things. But to be able to see things that way humility is necessary. People who only think about themselves and what they have to gain right here, right now, would certainly not agree with my point of view.

Yeah, you know, that there is no God. And you know, which God is the correct God to argue against, because you know, the God, you reference, is the correct true God. How rational of you.

In Sufism there is no such thing, But what you describe is not a good act no

Good, bad, indifferent - all probably projections from humans - so difficult to choose - if one felt such necessary. Eeeny, meeny, etc. But probably best to choose what seems best for oneself and all others, and disregarding what those from the past wished to enforce in the future.

Ok, that is the OT God. Sure you do not share Him?

Not at all. I asked if a God that is into slicing pregnant women in two is good or bad. That is a simple question. Many believe it was good, and many believe that that God is not the real one.

but since that God is worshipped by billions, I think it is proper to ask.

Did God ask someone to do that? Or did someone just say that God asked someone to do that?

I’ve never seen God as bad, I’ve always perceived some men’s concept of God as bad. I’ve always believed men of war will create a God of war to worship, and men of peace will create a God of peace to worship. Many of the Gods of war various men have created is what I often have a problem with, but many of the Gods of peace created I find to be good for society.

I see Divine as perfection

 

[Altfish]

Well, I don't believe that there are rational humans, the way you apparently believe in rational humans.

Have you ever considered, that you could be a product of the same overall cultural processes, that you claim of religion?

I mean the idea of God is a human cultural product. But so is a rational person.

I was brought up in a religion, a fairly benign one I admit.

I follow no one; I respect a few people but not everything they do and say do I agree with.
If you mean, do I and rational people make mistakes and bad judgements, then yes. But hopefully I learn from it and do not repeat the error.

Humans will always disagree with God. Humans will also agree with God. Humans will always blame others, if not God, but also give credit to themselves more than others.

This is how it goes. You would see.

I don't just believe all claims about God, spoken by people who never have 'seen' God, yet they claim to know all this stuff. Makes no sense to me

An additional problem pops up, when you ask people to define God; I would not be suprised to get 7 billion different answers if asked 7 billion people

Whenever someone achieves something impactful in here, the very first thing they say is: Thanks to God!
