But it's okay when God kills someone, making them end, preventing a continuation to an elderly man or woman?

One rule for God, another for man, even though the Bible tells us to follow God's example of righteousness?

God sets the times for all of our births and deaths, so why wouldn't it okay that He does
is His right to do?

The termination of unwanted pregnancies should happen early. Late-term abortions shouldn't happen except for medical emergencies.

How early is early?

If you are fine with killing small children like the one in the first picture, then you are an animal, deserving of eternal damnation.

God created us all, God has the right to do as He wishes.

You believe God is no different than us.

The point is, God 'should' be different from us, by His very definition as the moral law giver. The argument that God can 'do what he likes' with his own creation is probably the most repugnant put forward by some Christians. - I would have no objection to the statement 'God could if He so wished' kill Mr X (in the sense that an omnipotent deity would have the power to do so) but not with the statement that God 'is at liberty to kill Mr X while maintaining his status as the moral law giver.' The Christian position that it's okay for God to tell us not to kill, but morally at liberty to do so Himself' (not subject 'to His own' moral code) is bordering on the bizarre.

A God, worthy of worship, would instruct us to 'do as I do, not just do what I say.'

The point is God by definition is different from us. You don't like the fact that you are not God.

I figure that when the brain kicks in, we got a kid. So, before the end of the first trimester.

Ideally, we should prevent unwanted pregnancies from occurring. Tell the churches that contraception is a good thing.

You are projecting, buddy. If you were charismatic you'd start a cult, but you aren't so you can't. We are spared from suffering another jones or koresh.

Might makes right. Lousy morality and lousy apologetics.

How about you address the points made?

Why not explain why God operates outside of His own moral code? (As opposed to a reply of concentrated silliness).

Did I claim most people would like the truth?

You mean how you don't think it is right that you can't set the rules?

You know what God should do?

That is good advice for parents not God!

No. Again I ask:

Where did I say I knew what God should do? I asked why He doesn't adhere to His own moral code (not mine) and behave as He tells us to behave? And why are you okay that He doesn't?
