How far would you go, if your god told you to do something and they made it very clear that it was really them?

I would not have a choice but I believe God is caring and does not ask us to do things we wouldn’t chose to do ourselves anyway.

[Agape93]

He literally tasked a man to murder his own child, the guy was about to do it until God stopped him.

[jennifer_bloom]

And the point is God stopped him

[Agape93]

But he still asked him to do something he didn't want to do, and imagine the mental and emotional anguish being told you have to murder your child. That's not something a caring being does.

[jennifer_bloom]

A girl from my bible study said Jesus died on the same mountain where Abraham was asked to sacrifice his son so God was trying to show Abraham how much pain God experienced, at sending Jesus to die for us.

[Agape93]

Nonsense. There is no excuse for it, stop trying to find one.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

I believe that every woman and man is their own god; and since I am my own god, I'll do everything I will myself to do. Even horrible things.

[Agape93]

That's damn near a main tenet of thelema lol good on you, for the mentality here I mean.

[Sun_Kim-Ai]

Thanks.
Sometimes I don't want to do the things that I force myself to do, but I do them nonetheless because it's my will.
Wanting and willing are different things.

[Agape93]

Agreed entirely

[jshm2]

Whatever it takes.

That is the point, though. But a small, cowardly mind like your can't comprehend devotion and loyalty.

[Agape93]

So you'd rape, torture and murder your children if he told you to?

Also, dude, can you for once not come to my fucking post and insult me?

[1GoldTwins]

I will not sacrifice my kids, my man or myself... Even if you promise me more kids if I do, It's not the same... IT S NOT THE SAME KID 🥺

[Agape93]

Good 👍 you're already more moral than a large swath of people

[call_me_scar]

Atheist but if one did come to me I'd probably refuse unless I'm given some damn good reasons why he hasn't at least gone to other people to stop religious wars as for limits I won't do anything unnecessary if I'm given a the damn good reason

[Anpu23]

Hard question. If my personal deity came to me with a request that I could fulfill I can't imagine a scenario where I wouldn't comply. Even if that request was criminal in nature.

[Brandi555]

I’d probably do it because the god I believe in would ask me to do something that I would consider wrong.

[TacosRAwesome]

Depends on how stupid I consider it. I mean just because a god suggested it, doesn't mean would.

[Blueeyes81]

All the way because my god does not exist.

[moonpie89]

The most I'd do is sacrifice myself

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

I would have to obey

[Agape93]

So, no limits at all?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Nope

[Agape93]

So he asks you to rape and kill your children, you would? Or skin people alive?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

God wouldn’t ask that because it violates the 12 commandments

[Agape93]

Ah in this situation, it was proven that it is your god, and you said there would be no limits.

So, yes or no.

[Agape93]

Well?

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

It’s a contradiction of the commandments. I would assume the devil is asking

[Agape93]

Again, for the third time, it was confirmed that this is your god. Answer the fucking question

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

What if the reason god is asking for me to kill my children is because they will become serial killers or the next hitler?

[Agape93]

Doesn't matter. God's just telling you to do it and will not say why.
Well?

[Agape93]

I'm still waiting for you to answer

[CAPTAIN-OBVIOUS]

Would have to decline because it’s a violation of 12 commandments

[Agape93]

So you do have limits.

[sirderpsalot123]

Not very far, lol.
