So why the double standards for God?

When a man commits genocide, violates human rights, has no respect for life and kills anyone who does not conform to his ideology as ruler. By Modern ethical standards; we consider such a man as a dictator and a criminal. It is irrelevant whether the victims were wholesome, good, bad, ugly, strange or just plain creepy. Such a man would still be guilty for crimes against humanity.

By modern ethical standards; God is a tyrant who violates our human rights, has no respect for life and is wanted for crimes against humanity – guilty of mass genocide, rape of a minor, terrorism, infanticide, murder, tampering with evidence, destruction of property, racketeering, inciting violence and murder. The list can go on…

Why give your deity such a pardon?

Beats me. Especially if you buy into the concept that we are created in his image, and programmed to find such things appalling. Humans who are born into sin and imperfection desrve a pass far more than God does.

I asked a group of Evangelicals what they thought happened to fetuses that were aborted by medical means and those that are spontaneous (God and nature). They all agreed the fetuses would be in heaven. So the controversy is what from the religious point of view, that's where it got real murky.?

Because like all abusive spouses, he knows what's best for you and you'd better go along with it or else.

Double standard God for "His" rep too: assigned wt Bible reading for next week: Numbers 31: "Jehovah spoke to Moses---17: -- kill every male--the little* ones--and kill every woman* -----" These were the survivors, the prisoners of the massacre of the Midianites and were awaiting their fate outside the camp of Israel, before the High priest and Moses, and on the orders of Jehovah / Moses even most of these hapless prisoners , babies even, were slaughtered.

makes you proud to be a witness surely!

Same reason most cowed subjects give human tyrants a pardon...

...they're afraid not to.

This. This is why I decided not to be a JW.

I wouldn't want to serve a god that always does terrible things that I wouldn't do myself.
