Consider the following hypothetical situation:
You have been an atheist, humanist and pacifist for the whole 20 years of your lifetime. Suddenly, while you're asleep, this god, which you were referring to, shows up in the room where you are. He orders you to rob the nearest gun shop with a kitchen knife, and then kill as many people as you can. Then, god disappears.

What do you do?

You tell him sorry m8 but are you mad?

Well you have your reason to help you out.

To this 'god'? Consider, that it doesn't respond, it has already vanished.

Well than this "god " surely has some issues...

which begs the question

What kind of God would want you to act against your moral without explanation? unrelated--- btw Radiohead on BBC 2 now---

I wouldn't want to put my words into your mouth, but are you now claiming that you wouldn't believe into a god if it's ethical world isn't the same as yours?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

no just not in the one that doesn;t explain himself to me first - ie... what is the point with the violent action, he as omni - guy should have no problems doing that

So, a superior being should waste it's limited time to briefly explain it's motives to gain your trust?

[OneFootInTheGrave]

well that is the whole point of God - he is a loving fella, and loving fellas want to have your trust

Ok, thanks for your patience during your explanation(s?) -- I like to obtain different viewpoints from different persons, that's what I think is the whole point of BBS' such as this one.

[OneFootInTheGrave]

I agree just fire off if you have more

god doesn't pop up and say hi, because he fears people. that's why he wrecked the tower of bable. seems like god is very weak! perhaps we could kill him if we tried hard enough?

[Frankychan]

you see all the different responses?

THAT'S why God doesn't say "Hi".

Why does an omnipotent being have a time limit?

[Lorizael]

The Bible isn't proof of God's existence, because there are other books out there that claim to be divinely inspired. And even if there weren't any other books making that claim, you would still have to prove that the Bible was in fact written by God.

A bad selection of words, due to English being a non-native language for me.

Not literally limited, more like that it's time is more expensive than OFITG's, because 'god' holds more power than OFITG.

Because It can't? Or something else?

Don't think anyone knows why in any case....
