yes, but i didn't say anything about not having a right to judge.
You're scraping at the bottom of the skeptical barrel.
God has the position to judge His creation and to save His creation from being judged (should His love prompt Him to at least offer a reconcilation).
he judges his creation and saves his creation from being judged? you've just dived headfirst into the rocky shoals of absurdity.
Besides, if you say God has not right to judge us then you take away your own major complaint. If He has no right to judge us then He has no right to interfere with our evil.
i never said god has no right to judge. but back to your point, he doesn't do anything about the 'evil' anyways so your point is self-defeating.
So you cannot criticize Him for standing by for wrongdoing in one hand, and also say that He has no right to judge on the other hand.
indeed. in order to earn the qualification (not right!) to judge, he first has to prove himself a competent judge. sadly, biblegod has proven a very poor judge. and his own statements about his personal character disqualify him from ever becoming qualified as a judge (anger, jealousy, overinflated self worth, and so on).
If He has no right to judge then He is innocent of the wrong doing of anyone of His created beings. He has no right to say anything about it.
this reasoning is not logical. an artist can and is judged for his creations weather or not the artist personally has the right or qualification to judge. further, he can also be judged for his own actions. it doesn't matter what he personally has to say about it.
