Does Might Make Right?

Question

The statement God can do what God wants because God is God raises this question.

Answer 1

Well the basic flaw in that statement is that you need some outside independent source to back it up. Otherwise, I can just say "I can do what I want, because I am I". That's just as stupid, and the only difference is centuries of propaganda in favour of god, and a lot of money put to that service.

Answer 2

For humanity, might does not always make right. For God, it doesn't matter. We are blessed because God is just, merciful, and righteous. He is mighty, but his laws are right.

Answer 3

No, adaptability makes right. Might just makes enemies. Look at the US if you want an example. Only those able to adapt will survive any battle.

Answer 4

WHAT HAS GOD DONE FOR YOU or not TO ASK THAT QUESTION?

START TAKING RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR STUPID ACTIONS AND STOP BLAMING GOD FOR IT.


If God wanted to do as he pleased, do you think you would be alive right now, you stupid moron. I'm tired of everybody throwing rocks at God and never at themselves.

Answer 5

It's worked all through human history. it is always the Victor that gets to write the history, except in the case of the Jews. Their version of history prevails whether they win or lose.

Answer 6

well, from the perspective of evolutionary ethics it certainly does. And I imagine it probably does according to other moral systems as well.
however, consider this, G-d OWNS (and constantly maintaings) everything. Thus He can do with his property as He sees fit.

Answer 7

do you understand that ways of God? are your ways and God's ways the same? i think not.
