[And yet, no one ever finds it odd that God would give the Commandment "thou shalt not kill" and then order the Israelites to declare war on others.
But hey.. I'm sure I lost something in the 'we are never wrong' cloud of 'context']
There is a difference between you deciding to kill someone for any variety of reasons and a righteous, pure, and sinless God enacting judgment on men.

It's the people like this who see nothing wrong with killing for god (same with the group that changes "kill" to "murder"), that scare me the most.
Good thing most of 'em don't think that god orders that sort of thing today.
"There is a difference between you deciding to kill someone for any variety of reasons and a righteous, pure, and sinless God enacting judgment on men."
I find it quite amusing that an omnipotent entity, that can create an entire universe no less, still employs fallible and faulty humans to do it's dirty work. If your god wants someone dead he can damn well do it himself. All your Bible stories show is that your deity either doesn't exist or is im potent rather than omni potent.
EDIT: Damn. Seems Durane beat me to it.
If God wants to kill people, why doesn't he do it himself? Bring them down in an earthquake or just give them all heart attacks. It seems wrong for him to say "Thou shalt not kill" and then say "hey everyone, go kill these people"
So if you are sinless, sins aren't sins...
Then I am sinless, as whatever was the first sin I comitted, I comitted while sinless, and it was therefore not a sin.
A god cannot escape compliance with the laws he himself sets up. Noncompliance would make him irresponsible, incompetent and unworthy of his godhood.
However, since your god is imaginary, this is fine.
Yeah, that's Brainless for ya. His whole worldview can be summed up as "If Master says it's so, it's so". He thinks that nothing his tyrant god does is wrong because... well, just because it's his god. Worse yet, he's a stone-headed idiot who trolls threads with his mindless bullshit and sneers at how everyone not like him is OBVOUSLY EVIL AND STUPID until he gets called on being wrong about everything, then he bitches about "not being respected" and takes his ball and goes home.
If someone picked his sorry midget ass up and tossed him out the window, I'd cheer.
GOD IS PERFECT AND CANNOT DO EVIL BECAUSE ONLY SATAN CAN EVIL!!!!! ONLY GOD KNOWS WHAT IS BEST AND THAT IS WHY YOU SHOULD GIVE YOUR LIFE AND DECISIONS ONLY TO HIM!!! GOD ONLY KILLS EVIL SO IF GOD KILLS IT THEM IT IS EVIL!!!! BECAUS GOD KNOWS WHATS BEST FOR US!!!!
DONT BE AFRAID OF GOD BECAUSE GOD LOVES YOU AND DOESNT WANT TO SEND YOU TO HELL BUT WILL IF YOU DO NOT OBEY HIS EVERY COMMAND!!! IF YOU DISOBEY GOD YOU WILL GO TO HELL FOR ALL ETURNATY!!!!!!!!!IN THE ONE AND ONLY MIGHTY TRUE GOD AND NAME OF JESUS CHRIST AMEN!!!!
@Amanda
God seems a bit limited in that respect.
ONLY SATAN CAN EVIL!!!!!
More people should use evil as a verb. I like it!
Someone clearly, however, didn't read my post about Satan on the forums.

The rules don't say that. How, then, did you arrive at this remarkable conclusion, which just happens to give you carte blanche to kill anyone you like if you can just persuade people that god hates your chosen target?
It's funny how the "righteous, pure, and sinless God enacting judgment on men" always seems to tell people to do exactly what they wanted to do for other reasons anyway. In Northern Ireland, for instance, each group claims He told them to kill the other.
Vanity Breaker: I haven't found Bain to be that bad, myself. Yes, I disagree with him strongly. However, he's not nearly as obnoxious about it as he might be.
esrz: It's not the obnoxiousness that should be the problem (although his trolling should have gotten him banned a long time ago - he only still exists at the AllSpark due to sucking stalker-boy Greg's cock on a regular basis), it's the fact that he's a disgusting, amoral, spineless, baby-killing, gay-bashing, bible-humping freak. I've met the man in person (BotCon '06), and although he might seem nice in person, these comments of his show how disgusting of a human being he is. Combine that with the fact that he regularly violates the spirit of the rules and never sees punishment (while I was re-banned for that exact reason) and you're got someone who is truly dangerous - an unaccountable hatemonger.
Confused?
