(22,851 posts)I said God makes a terrible role model. I give examples.
You obscure that with talk of Obama, and then admit God isn't morally perfect, which forces two questions: 1> If God isn't morally perfect, but yet has literally all of the power in the universe and apparently beyond to be better, but chooses not to, why would that be role model material? "I can be better, but why when this sadism thing is going so well?" seems like an odd theme to want to emulate.
2> What is your point?
The stories I am referring to come from the Old and New Testaments of the Bible. When you took offense at my critique of the God of Abraham, I assumed you might actually be a familiar with stories and how they depict God and His "word."
This conversation has gone something like this:
> God is an awesome Role model
> No, God is not. Here are examples.
> If God is not a good role model than neither is Obama
> What?
> Leopards!*
> What?
> You are off topic! I haven't read the Bible!
> What? Here is a nifty condensation of our discussion thus far!**
* If you make metaphors about Snow Leopards, Lions, and Mountain Lions, sequentially, you will be like Mac O/S, but likely not enough to be sued by Apple!
