Does Yahweh get away with every atrocity because of the "Who are you to judge God" argument ?

Update:

Oh Simple Jack again, morality is not objective so me or every person on earth not wanting to be owned by another human being makes SLAVERY IN THE BIBLE WRONG !

Update 2:

All hail Simple Jack and his "God is right because he has balls" logic !

Update 3:

Simple Jack: Simon, everyone dies, and everyone is judged. Explain how you know better than a being with perfect knowledge and wisdom about when someone should die?

Behold, this is the "Who are you to judge God" argument.

Look Simple Jack, you don't have to be a being with perfect knowledge and wizdon to know that little kids shouldn't die in horrible tragedies like that before they got a chance to experience life !

Update 4:

And yet time after time after time, you offer NO argument to justify your view other than Danc doesn't like it, Danc doesn't want it, therefore it's bad.

Let's suppose nothing i like or say about morality is valid because whatever personal opinion someone has is invalid.

I challenge you Simple Jack to justify the tsunamy being morally good even though it killed little kids before they had a chance to sin.

Update 5:

Don't tell me that killing little kids is part of his mysterious benevolent plan churned up in his mysterious infinite wisdom !

I'm laughing my *** off !

Update 6:

You're the one who began with the claim of "atrocities" - It's because they actually are atrocities.

Enslaving anyone is an atrocity.

Killing infants is an atrocity, can you argue against it ?

Every person abiding to the "GOLDEN RULE" knows these things, not only me, i don't allow the bible to replace my underlying sense of morality !

So i guess you would still find ways to avoid my question:

Update 7:

Would you accept being enslaved if Yahweh enforced some people to take you into forced labour ?

And would that be morally good from Yahweh to do so ?

So hard to answer this simple question ? It's just a curiosity.

Update 8:

Everyone is conceived sinful, everyone is sinful before they are even born.

Further yet, this isn't a debate forum. Take it somewhere else. Good day.

Running away eh ?

I guessed so, creationists can't be honest with anything ever.

    It would be impossible to logically believe in a god that is not ultimately responsible for every death and every atrocity.

    Similarly, however, it would be impossible to logically not believe in god and believe in eternal existence or purpose.

    It is rather difficult to blame god for death if death is only a transition and god gave life in the first place. You want to pretend god is a human who can be judged as a human. That is illogical.

    Do you eat plants? Did you give the plant life? Did you give the plants eternal existence after death? Does this make you immoral? Can we not judge you as a plant would?

    Or the "God can not do evil, by definition" argument.

    Edit:

    As Simple Jack is demonstrating right now. over 200,000 people DESERVED to die, thousands of babies and young children, many in agony and despair, because otherwise God would not have killed them.

    God is good by definition, so anything that looks like evil torture and butchery is actually loving and kindness, and we are just looking at it the wrong way.

    The idea is that everything Yahweh, God, Allah does is for the eventual greater good.

    is nonsense. But it's the only explanation religions have for all the terrible things that happen in the world.

    Are they "atrocities" for any reason other than you don't agree with it?

    "Oh Simple Jack again, morality is not objective so me or every person on earth not wanting to be owned by another human being makes SLAVERY IN THE BIBLE WRONG !"

    - Ah, yes, you "not wanting" is what makes it wrong. So you admit you not liking it is your only objection. Thanks for sharing.

    "All hail Simple Jack and his "God is right because he has balls" logic !"

    - Straw man fallacy. I never said any such thing.

    "Look Simple Jack, you don't have to be a being with perfect knowledge and wizdon to know that little kids shouldn't die in horrible tragedies like that before they got a chance to experience life !"

    - And yet time after time after time, you offer NO argument to justify your view other than Danc doesn't like it, Danc doesn't want it, therefore it's bad.

    "I challenge you Simple Jack to justify the tsunamy being morally good"

    - You're the one who began with the claim of "atrocities". Burden of proof is on you. I don't have to justify my view. I only need to point out you can't justify yours. Further, "before they had a chance to sin" is a straw man fallacy. I never said that was my position, and that is not the Christian position. Everyone is conceived sinful, everyone is sinful before they are even born.

    Further yet, this isn't a debate forum. Take it somewhere else. Good day.

    "Running away eh ?"

    - From the guidelines: "Yahoo Answers is a community of questions and answers, not a chat room. If a post is neither a question nor an answer, it doesn't belong here. If you prefer to have discussions or chat with others, please use one of Yahoo's other community services, such as Yahoo Groups".

    Obviously, someone of your superior morality wants to follow the rules.

    It seems that the only reason that atheists would believe in God is to use him as their punching bag.

    But it all boils down to the pot calling the kettle black.

    God knows the heart of people and when he has decided they are wicked and deserve to die then he can execute them. Just as a judge can decide a man is guilty and have him executed.
