Can anyone come up with a morally acceptable reason for waiting thousands of years to end wickedness?
Yes God forgot the magic words for ending wickedness, I think it starts off with "bippidy boola zippidy zoola". But he just can't remember the rest,, since Satan been slippin him some forget magic spell pills.
Yeah F.
Of course by now I think we all realize the impossibility of a creature like the God of any religion as having any existence because its parameters are as limited as the religions which describe it or the minds that conceive of it. Such a creature could not create anything.
What is your "question", dear GB? I will most certainly respond to it, if I can/am permitted.
Peace to you!

gubberningbody,
Are you saying it is the limits of our religious thought not necessarily the limits of God?
Aguest... The question was clear, however your answer was rambling, and clearly missed the point.
It should be clear that any rehashment of WT babble wouldn't be sufficient.
Finger... I'm saying both.
If there is a God, there is no way that this God has a morality even remotely resembling what a decent person would be considered morally upright.
This doesn't argue to its existence, however it does argue strongly against every concept of God as represented by any organized religion.
gubberningbody,
Thank you. I feel it is our limits of thought on morality rather than an amoral God.
Finger, if this God has any morality which makes sense to anyone, it could never make sense to the me that is me right now. (Unless someone wants to chime in with something really good right now.)
This non-argument-argument is pretty much as good as it gets : "You'll die, wake up from your confusion and give a wise nod to how it was all so perfectly moral, upright and just."
This might be true, however this would only be true for the future me, and not for the me who is here right now.
Right now I see "fright all around". This is the world I was born in to, the world I live in and likely the world I'll die in as well. No moral God exists in this world.

Having faith in God is about Trust I think.
"Right now I see "fright all around". This is the world I was born in to, the world I live in and likely the world I'll die in as well. No moral God exists in this world."
We cannot limit God to the world we live in, so we cannot judge his morality by what we see.
GB - how do you expect God to end all wickedness? And without ending the people with wickedness in them?
Just curious.
