We can all agree that killing is evil right? Well, God doesn't seem to agree. I am not a Satanist, I'm without a religion (atheist). But this is messed up. Your thoughts? Topics: Is it okay to kill what you've created?

nice, i'm supposed to be catholic and so i find it kind of funny. but i still a agree with most of the comments on that blog.. still, a lot of people will say that all those people were killed for the greatest good. and me as a catholic should be saying the same. so
All of those kills were done for the greatest good.
and come on!, God killed some of those people to protect others who deserved better.

I don't think any mass killings are for the greater good. That's just genocide. Do you think a mother should be allowed to kill her child because she created the child?

well if you look at it as in today times, most of the things god did are just wrong
but all the oppression in that time was worth the kills.. look even what i say i don't agree with but you got to look at the bible as an old book and compare it to the old times. not to today's

forgottensin007 he kills becasue only he has the right to kill that doesnt mean a mom has the right to kill her kid because technacilly she didnt create it, all by herself, at least she only gave birth to it God has the right to kill cuz he created everything So, if I assembled a human from the ground up, literally atom by atom (Or smaller units, if you prefer. We can get down to quarks, or lower), I would have the right to kill it off whenever I wanted? After all, I would have created it from nothing.

I'm tempted to say yes ... but then you remember that this wouldn't be an "it." This would be a breathing, thinking, feeling, talking, real live human being.

Ok I will first go off topic for a bit (It is not too much off topic but Meh! just in case)
Humans are mostly evil (I am not saying we all have our souls tainted in black ink...but the majority are). We are the ones who chooce to kill each other and destroy the Earth and its inhabitants without caring for the consequences. Even with rules and governments we are still in a chaotic situation, slowlly people are becoming more selfish and most of them forget or 'ignore' all the bad things that are happening. Although there are some who choose not to ignore those facts and they also chooce not to hurt each other.
Now talking about religion, we where giving the right to choose what we want to do right? well Adam and Eve had that right aswell and they decided to bretray their creator, even after they where told what will happen to them if they do, so it was their fault, not God's. By the way Satan was the one who started all this, and he is the one in charge of the Earth, that's another reason as to why the world is in such a state.
Let me ask you all something, If God is so 'evil' as some of you say then Why hasn't he destroyed us yet? Why is he giving us the change to chooce our path, to make our own lives, etc? And back to Adam and Eve, we all now that their mistake was to eat from the prohibited fruit right? Now God told them that they could eat from all the other trees except for that single one, was that such a hard task? It is not as if they where starving to death or something...Meaning that most death could be the cause of Satan's influence.
Now God destroyed all that people because of they where creating a living hell on Earth, In Noah's story he even warned the people but nobody listened, whose is guilty of so many deaths then?
Another note, the Bible is the book of God not Satan's therefore we can't find much information about him (meaning that we don't really know who is the one that has caused more deaths in the previous years)

Well, that's one reason I'm not religous. It just doesn't add up. He hasn't killed us because he doesn't exist. It's that simple.
A cruel leader kills people for punishment, no matter how much warning.
Don't you think that if the devil had killed more people it would be recorded in the Bible to show how evil he is?

Sarahgal55 Well, that's one reason I'm not religous. It just doesn't add up. He hasn't killed us because he doesn't exist. It's that simple. A cruel leader kills people for punishment, no matter how much warning. Don't you think that if the devil had killed more people it would be recorded in the Bible to show how evil he is? I am acctually trying to see the differences between some religions to see which one makes more sense to me...some of them have their good points, and others they just don't make sense at all. Well I do believe that God exist, along with other things such as Satan and all that stuff. Ok now cruel leaders will kill people no matter what, they won't care how much good things you have done, and he/she/ will not even give you a change to show your potential and they won't ever tell you the reason as to why they did it and they won't warn you. That's my point of view when it comes to that. In this case God destroyed all those people because they shown that they couldn't possibly exist in Earth without causing murdering others or being destructive beings. Just thing as the death penalty thing. In tis case the people showed that they weren't capable of making changes for the better, so instead of causing more harships to the people who wanted and deserved to live it was better to make them dissapear. If the people who died had show that they could change and be 'good' the most likely outcome would have been that no-one would of died. And as I said it before the Bible is the book about God not about the Devil, the Bigle will tell you which things are bad and which are good. It will also explain what will happen to the people during the final jugment. Although I can still see the reason as to why you made that question, it is reasonable, I won't lie. But then again sometimes you don't need to kill someone to show that you are evil.

Ah, you raise some interesting points.
"Ok now cruel leaders will kill people no matter what, they won't care how much good things you have done, and he/she/ will not even give you a change to show your potential and they won't ever tell you the reason as to why they did it and they won't warn you."
Cruel leaders will generally give people a chance to do their bidding. God did just that.
"If the people who died had show that they could change and be 'good' the most likely outcome would have been that no-one would of died."
I am certain that not everybody was murdering and stealing and such. If somebody from your family murdered a man, would your whole family deserve to be punished from their actions? No. That's wrong.
The last part of your post is more religious than the others, so I'm not going to touch that because I don't believe in final judgment or te Bible or anything like that.
You don't need to kill somebody to show you are evil ... but what does that have to do with anything?

Then that wouldn't be so much of a cruel leader (in my opinion..)
If the people who made that post had read the Bible carefully enough they would of have noticed that the people who died, they did it because of those reasons (there where people who actually listened and they weren'r killed) And God didn't killed the entire family, he killed the people who deserved to die, since as you said murdering an entire family for something that one of its members did is wrong.
"You don't need to kill somebody to show you are evil ... but what does that have to do with anything?" That's just my way of answering one of your questions
"Don't you think that if the devil had killed more people it would be recorded in the Bible to show how evil he is?" It was just my own way to complement what I was trying to say together with my third comment (the one you decided not to touch due to religious matters)

Okay ... like I've said, I don't read the Bible, so I don't know for sure ... but I really doubt that that many people could have deserved death. Some of the deaths were done by the masses ... innocents must have been killed too.
So ... what did they do to deserve such a terrible punishment?
