Morality is for mortals, not Gods.
Morality is for the masses, not kings (nor their sisters, and their cousins, whom they reckon up by dozens, and their aunts). (Gilbert and Sullivan, Mikado). The king of Saudi Arabia pays a fortune for his spawn to buy prostitutes around the world, and they brag that American women are sexually easy and therefore, American morals are much lower than Saudi morals (which pay for the easy morals). Drinking, slutting, and gambling their way around the world, they brag about their fine morals.
Golden Rule (he who has the gold makes the rules).
"Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor's wife," and "thou shalt not commit adultery," but God had sex with Mary (married to Joseph at the time), and had Jesus. I wonder what kind of STDs you might get from one who has been around since the dawn of time?
"Thou shalt not kill" (God flooded the earth during Noah's time)(God wiped out Sodom).
We've been told that Moses was given the 10 commandments. But suppose God had those 10 stone tablets laying around and Moses stole them?
The 10 Commandments are not "equally important" they were the law of the Jews, and those were borrowed by Christians (first), the later by Moslems.
Keep holy the lord's day (that's Friday night to Saturday night, right?).
God is in favor of the Jews? You wouldn't think that they were the chosen ones, in light of Nazi Germany. Couldn't God choose someone else for a change?
Man was made in God's image. But there are many races, at least two sexes, different heights, and different weights (I figure by weight, alone, I should be very blessed).
Could it be that we are not made in the physical image of God (since we each have different physical images)? Could it be that we are, instead, made in the moral image of God? That is....flawed? Can God expect us to be less flawed that he is? Can God expect to put temptation in the Garden of Eden, then tell us that not only did Adam and Eve sin, but that sin will carry down through the various thousands of generations to those who had nothing at all to do with the sin?
Theists ask for God's forgiveness. Should theists, instead, try to forgive God for his various sins?
Nimos said: "have puppies, and you are morally against killing puppies, are you then not morally obligated to treat all puppies according to your own moral rules."
You mean "thou shalt not covet the dog's mom?" I feel lucky if I can get their doggie dad from climbing on me.
I've seen egregious breaches of morality by theists (such as Reverend Schuller's (Crystal Cathedral) son photographed in public with a bottle of booze in one arm, scantily clad blonde in another arm, and his pants down and his penis sticking out). Yet, theists claim that they are more moral than atheists.
Atheists have their own set of morals, and those have nothing to do with the fear that God will see and punish.
