What is it you don't understand this time?
I understand what your spam-response gimmick is.

Who did your God put "under a curse"? The mass murderer who killed 50 people? Or the 50 people he murdered? Or both? And he put these people "under a curse" for what? Revenge against humans? As a sign of His "love"?

So, you think God is petty, unjust, and vindictive?
I think he was the best the ancient Hebrew imagination could come up with.

Er, survival?

You don't think I feel survival is important when God is off the table?
What is important when God is off the table? Is human life more important than cockroach lives? According to what do you get your answer?

Is your belief in your God the only thing that's preventing you from feeling no different from a cockroach?

He is just, and as such cannot let evil deeds go unpunished, punishment isn't being vindictive it is a righteous act. You think God by holding us accountable is being unfair, unjus ...[text shortened]... ignore evil and be good, no one can be merciful without justly dealing with the evil that was done.
You'd actually be better off splitting God in two yourself and abandoning the one portrayed in the OT.

You appear to have abandoned your recent attempts to mimic Fetchmyjunk (in regards to selective memory) and switched across now to sonship's repertoire. - I advise immediately abandoning both.

Yes, human life is more important than a cockroach. If you need God to tell you that, heaven help you.

If evolution without design or purpose causes all life to come up together due to natural processes justify that? Isn’t one species dying off no different than the next? There’s people who believe we should treat all animals as humans making them equal in value. Reverence for life doesn’t favor one over another. With the foundation of evolution how do you justify your beliefs?

God does lay out what is important without Him all we have are different opinions and arguments!

The morality we have spoken about (built on an early foundation of cooperation) tends to value the life of our own species above that of other species, including insects. Personally, I'm rather pleased about that.

There’s only one God, in both testaments He deals with justice and mercy.

So now you are assuming your crap hypothesis as fact despite the evidence of history and reason, eh? Anything to avoid having to answer to your Maker, I suppose. Degenerate atheists.
