Why do people think they can judge God??

Question

If people want to call themselves tolerant and non-judgemental, why do these same people turn around and judge the actions of God? If we are finite beings with limited brain capacity, who are we to judge an immortal, infinite God who has an ETERNAL perspective on our life? Why do aethiests act like children, pouting that God can't exist simply because they don't agree with His actions?

Answer 1

AMEN! AMEN! AMEN!

Genesis 18:25 (KJV)

That be far from thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked: and that the righteous should be as the wicked, that be far from thee: Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?

Answer 2

that's like asking have you stopped beating your wife, or why do you continue to judge the actions of square-circle? It's a question with no good answer because the question itself shows a lack of understanding of who or what your talking about.

Atheists like myself don't believe in God because of a lack of evidence towards his existence, not because of moral judgements of his supposed actions. If any atheist brings up the moral actions of your deity, it's only to question the moral validity of Christian doctrine in your eyes, it usually has little to do with why that person doesn't believe in religion. A better question may be who are you judge the religous beliefs of others?

Answer 3

Prove that God is real, okay the Bible, someone could have easily writtent that god knows how many years ago (no pun intended). And right now sweety you are judging the atheists, there are some people out there, true atheists that really believe that God doesn't exist.

Answer 4

I don't know. They don't think it's judging God if they don't think that God exist in the first place. They are really judging us for believing in God.

Answer 5

If you seriously believe that it is wrong to judge God, then why are you not condemning the Christians, too? Saying "God is good" is just as much of a judgment of him as saying "God is evil."

What you are actually saying is that its okay to judge God and come to the conclusion that he's kind and benevolent, but it isn't okay to judge God and come to the conclusion that he's sadistic.

Stop being a hypocrite.

Answer 6

Listen myopic christian, atheist do not believe in god.

The only way to prove the fallacy of god is to show that "his actions" are incongruent with the proported nature of god. I.e god is a contradiction.

I don't expect you to understand.

Answer 7

I do not believe nor disbelieve in your god, he is irrelevant to my quest for enlightenment. I judge him because if you do not judge something you know nothing about it. You are asking me to accept your god without questioning his actions or beliefs but I hold faith in nothing blindly. And so I judge.

Answer 8

If you believe in God then you know he gave us free will.
So he already knows we will judge him and many others before our life is over.
And if He is so all loving and caring then you already know that he will forgive those who judge him and others.
And as far as I can see my actions are a direct result of his creation of me.
I didn't give myself this brain, or free will now did I?

Answer 9

for the same reason that a lot of "religious" people try to define the Creator in a way that suits their own selfish interests - most people don't want to be accountable for their actions
