You think that what I say about God isn't true but I cannot change truth if it is not to your liking.
A straw man is when you misrepresent what I said.
A straw man fallacy occurs when someone distorts or exaggerates another person’s argument, and then attacks the distorted version of the argument instead of genuinely engaging.
What is a straw man fallacy? Are you arguing against your opponent's point or against a position you've made up?

Just because YOU think something is petty that does not mean it is petty.
I am saying that some things you call petty are not petty.
I am also saying that some of what you call petty and accuse me of valuing are not things I value, nor does God value them.
What petty things? List them and I will tell you if Messengers taught us to value them.
Because any view of God I might have would only be a personal opinion, since I have NO WAY to know ANYTHING about God.
I depend upon a revelation from God through a Messenger in order to know anything about God since that is the only way to know ANYTHING about God.
But you don't KNOW anything about God since the only way to know anything is through what the Messengers reveal about God.
Tell me what you think I value and I will tell you if I value it and why I value it.
I already see.
God creates standards for humans to follow since God knows what is right and wrong behavior since God created humans.
We have secular laws to decide when killing is wrong.
You Believe that in time everyone will be Discovering and choosing the very best choices. There is absolutely NO BASIS for such a Belief. It is just something you made up because you want it to be that way.
So you are saying that society needs no laws or enforcement of laws because eventually everyone will Discover the best choices?
Do you even realize how insane that sounds?
It is not about what God needs, it is about what God has. God has wrath because God has wrath. Get over it.
That is just another one of your Beliefs. It has no basis in reality.
It is not about what God needs to do, it is about what God does. God judges. Get over it.
That is just another one of your Beliefs. It has no basis in reality.
That is just another one of your Beliefs. It has no basis in reality.
It is not about what God needs to do, it is about what God does. God rules. Get over it.
Everyone will never learn to make the best choices. That is why laws and rules will never be obsolete.
Intelligence will not make the best choices because everyone does not use their intelligence.
There is no need for any of those things you listed except Punishing and Controlling. Those are necessary in order to have order in society.
Love is good, but Unconditional Love fixes absolutely nothing. In fact it does no harm than good. It is only your pipe dream.
There will never be a Heavenly state for all through our own free choices, not unless people choose to follow the teachings and laws of the Messenger.
That's what I see. It's very clear!!
