re what right in article apr ifi uio no joakimr ifi uio no joakim ruud writes recently i ve asked myself a rather interesting question what right does god have on our lives always assuming there is a god of course he is god in his infinite wisdom he made it perfectly clear that if we don t live according to his rules we will burn in hell well with what right can god make that desicion he is god let s say for the sake of argument that god creates every one of us directly or indirectly it doesn t matter what then happens is that he first creates us and then turns us lose well i didn t ask to be created god granted you the gift of life whether you were sinner or saint let s make an analogue if a scientist creates a unique living creature which has happened it was even patented does he then have the right to expect it to behave in a certain matter or die the scientist creates the living creature to examine it poke and prod it and learn about its behaviour he will kill it if it becomes a threat for example let s say the scientist creates a tyrannosaurus rex and it breaks free of its confines and starts devouring the population the scientist would not hesitate in killing it god creates us to be his loving companions he knows whether we are true in our love for him or not and he lets us know the consequences of rejecting him god cannot abide by sin by rejecting god a person becomes an enemy of god one that must be killed by him note i say that god and god alone is worthy to be judge jury and executioner we are not called to carry out such duties because we are not worthy who is god to impose its rules on us who can tell if god is really so righteous as god likes us to believe are all christians a flock of sheep unable to do otherwise that follow the rest god is god who are we to question the creator if you doubt god s doing in certain situations do you claim to know a better solution would you be playing the role of god hmmmmmmmmmmmm i just want to point out that this is not sarcasm i mean it how should one deal with a man who is convinced that he is acting according to god s will and who there jokke fore believes that he is doing you a favour by stabbing you in the back voltaire
