  Hmmm…this could be the beginning of the end. ‘Obedient’ children in charge, especially a generation of unschooled, JW super kids, the average JW can’t stand them.

  Even if God exists…….

  i’m an atheist.. let’s assume i am wrong, i am willing to be.. let’s give people a god, let’s even make him the god of the bible…... does he deserve to be worshipped and obeyed?

  if so, why does his abhorrent actions not morally make you question allegiance to him?.

  does his authority alone allow him to murder and drown and order war, to throw people into a lake of fire?.

  "You shall acknowledge no God but me. . . . You are destroyed, Israel. . . . The people of Samaria must bear their guilt, because they have rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open." (Hosea 13:4, 9, 16 New International Version)

  "Hear and give ear; do not be haughty, for the Lord has spoken. . . . And if you say in your heart, 'Why have these things come upon me?' it is for the greatness of your iniquity that your skirts are lifted up, and you are violated . . . because you have forgotten me and trusted in lies. I myself will lift up your skirts over your face, and your shame will be seen." (Jeremiah 13:15–26 NRSV)
  

  "And if ye will not for all this hearken unto me, but walk contrary unto me; Then I will walk contrary unto you also in fury; and I, even I, will chastise you seven times for your sins. And ye shall eat the flesh of your sons, and the flesh of your daughters shall ye eat." (Leviticus 26:27–29 King James Version)
  

  "See, the day of the Lord is coming — a cruel day, with wrath and fierce anger. . . . I will put an end to the arrogance of the haughty. . . . Their infants will be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses will be looted and their wives violated." (Isaiah 13:9–16 NIV)

  If a king proclaimed authority or even earned it democratically, does that power grant loyalty despite abhorrent acts?

  Read the bible, if any king or leader performed the acts of the God of the bible, he would be considered the MOST evil leader that had ever existed. Forget Hitler, God drowned a planet, ordered the slicing open of pregnant bellies and plans infinite destruction for those than don’t do as he asks…..
  

  I just don’t get it anymore, as an informed adult, free to think….how do people reason around this obvious moral obstacle?
