So a friend of mine was watching a History channel special about God and some of the things done in the old testament. Its been thought that perhaps because of God anger that he has commited sin by killing those he was angry with. IE Soddom and Ghmorra, the whole world except for Noah and his family, ect. However what is not understood here is that rational thought of mankind does NOT apply to God. Personally I'm a special breed of agnostic called a "Humanist" and so generally I dont agree with traditional style thoughts. But in traditional dogma and doctorine for nearly every religion who believes in a singular supreme being they alla gree that this beyond is above and beyond us. Remember that God didnt just creat man and the world but the entire universe in which it sits. The very stars in the sky, the great black expanse betweent he stars and every law known to the galaxy were said to have been set in place by this singular being and through its will alone the universe and all its inhabitants continue to exist. The laws and ideals he set down for us to follow do not apply to him. Think of it as a child, children are given a bedtime, taught to eat their dinner before their dessert but these things do not apply to the parents. To say we are merely children in the presence of such a being, if one existed, is a severe understatment. So yes in many ways its a "Do I say, not as I do" but its more than that, your questioning the wisdom of a being who is past, present, and future who see and knows all.
As for me, well no matter what the case with God is what I believe is that we are the important part. We arent Gods, we dont have the luxury of immortality, all knowing minds, all seeing eyes, and omnipresence. We are human and we have short existences, we have flawed intellects, and eyes that do not always see what they should. As a people we must be concerned with each other first and foremost, we must endure together through faith in each other and believe in each other. Through one another all things are possible, we can do anything so long as we struggle to do so together. We WILL stumble along the way and will make mistakes but through those mistakes we will learn, we will persevere. We should be thankful for our existence yes, but not to the point where we abandon one another in order to seek the blessing of our creator, rather we should honor our lives by making the most of it.
