Should GOD Not Be Accountable For His Actions? | Conclusions From A Heated Office Argument

God

 

This happened about a week ago, but procrastination has always been a pretty good friend of mine. Until this morning I decided to finally dust off the cobwebs today and get to writing.

I am pretty much the odd one in the office, due to my often controversial religious views and the fact that I barely hide them. When an issue crops up regarding God I often roll my eyes so much the others are often compelled to respond, and I hit back pretty hard every single time.

So I’ve got the title of office demon locked down, and I got to say I revel in it.

Back on topic, I boldly stated the other time that God must be the most biased deity ever, and as usual I got met with some resistance. Asked to prove it, I brought up the story of David and Bathsheba to show God’s favouritism.

For those of us who do not know, David coveted a woman. He sent her husband to the toughest warfront where he promptly died. David took the woman, she conceived, then as punishment to David, God killed the child.

My question was simple: why should a fair and just God kill an infant who never hurt a fly as punishment for his sinful father’s way; the father who by the way was left to go scot free to commit more atrocities? If that isn’t the definition of favouritism, I don’t know what is.

As a little aside, I also asked why a God who categorically stated “thou shall not kill”, kills?

The answers I received were very interesting, and illuminated to me one truth I’ve always maintained about religion; it has the ability to warp logic beyond belief, yet retains the ability to make the one affected believe they are making the most logical argument.

The most obvious, David was being punished. That’s easy; why not punish David, who actually committed the sin, and not the little boy with no say in the whole thing. That’s when it was explained to me that taking away your kid is one of the worst punishments that could be inflicted on anyone. That’s pretty true, but that makes God no better than a mob/mafia boss.

Another explanation I received was that the kid was not supposed to be born, that as a product of sin he is an abomination. I didn’t even have to field that one, a friend asked if that wasn’t an implied endorsement of abortion?

Finally, why should I have any respect for a God who cannot uphold his own doctrines? In the real world we hold our leaders accountable for their actions, and there is universal disdain for those who do not practice what they preach. Of course, most times they don’t care and continue to abuse their power all the time, but should a loving deity do that?

So I simply asked, if I don’t respect our politicians because they tell us about how times are tight yet live in opulence, or the pastors who preach the gospel yet take any opportunity to swindle their congregants out of their earnings; why should I have any for a god who says one thing then immediately does another?.

The simple answer I received, am I comparing the creator to puny humans?

My simple retort is, shouldn’t I?

Should God not be accountable for his actions?
