I know I'm not god, but........

[Evoman]

There is a lot of things about religion that amazes me, but the biggest has got to be how we take crap from god that we don't from other people. In another thread, I made a couple of posts and I wanted to share them here in a different thread. Now, I DO NOT mean this post as a "calling out" to other DUers who responded to my post. Some people have personally IM'ed me and asked me to post it to start a discussion. With that disclaimer aside, I'm going to present another chapter of my play...and I want to discuss why, to those who believe in god (and if you don't, feel free to post anyways), is it okay for god to do things we would consider immoral.

Heres the first part.

*START SCENE*

Evoman: *to his 12 year old cousin* Hi Chantel. I'm glad your housesitting for me while I'm away at a conference

Chantel: Sure thing, Evoman.

Evoman: Now, you can go everywhere in the house except that third closet in the hallway. YOU MUST NOT GO IN THERE.

Chantel: Um..okay.

Evoman: Here, I'll give you the keys to that closet. BUT YOU MUST NEVER GO IN THERE.

Chantel: Uh...sure.

Evoman. The key goes in upside down. And that closet is full of knowledge. YOU MUST NEVER GO IN THERE.

Chantel: sure sure

Evoman: Okay *leaves*

*knock on the door*

Snakeman: Hey, whats up chantel baby.

Chantel: Oh nothing snakeman. Just watching my cousins house.

Snakeman: Whats that key for.

Chantel: A closet. My uncle doesn't want us to go there.

Snakeman: Sure he does. Why would he give you the key if he didn't want you to go in there. It was probably a joke

Chantel: You think? Okay. Lets go open the closet

Chantel *opens closet* OH MY GOD. THIS CLOSET IS FULL OF PORN. EWWWW.

EvomanL *comes in* Oh chantel...I forgot to tel....WHAT THE HELL!!!!

Chantel: GROSS

Evoman: YOU DISOBEYED ME. For doing that, I'm going to inject you with Aids. Then I'm going to throw you out in the streets so you'll get raped and beaten. Then I'm going to make sure all of your kids, if they survive the aids, will be suffer for this. They build a house, I'll knock it down. SUFFER

Chantel: Really *sniff*....why..

Evoman: No, I'm just kidding. What, you think I'm god! HAHAHA

Chantel: HAHAHA

Snakeman: HAHAHAH *look at audience and winks*

END OF SCENE


After this post, I was chided that my play didn't present god appropriately. That in order to correspond with scripture, the Evoman character forgives Chantel and then punishes himself for her sins. I love criticism (and would love it in this thread as well..hehe). This is how I responded:

But what you don't know is that Chantel does not ask for forgiveness because she feels that her cousin Evoman is a disgusting pervert. Evoman desperately tries to tell her its in her best interest to apologize, because if she does he will give her a lolly. He even offers to beat up his innocent little toddler Jakey and put a skewer through him so that she can get off the hook. She is horrified by that and refuses to apologize. So evoman is forced to throw a pot of boiling oil on her. He can't help it...he tried to help her but she refused his mercy.

So what do you think. If morality does come from god, aren't we moral if we kill, give people sicknesses, etc. Why or why not?
