Psalm 2

why do the heathen rage and the idiots imagine a vain thing

THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TAKE COUNSEL

against GOD and his annointed CHRIST

they say let us break their bands,

GOD THAT SITS ABOVE THE DOME LAUGHS

the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.

for you CHRIST ARE MY SON

I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession

You will break them with a rod of iron
you will dash them to pieces like pottery

and those who believe in me
I SHALL GIVE YOU RULE OVER THE NATIONS

AND YOU THE BELIEVERS WILL TAKE OVER THE EARTH BY FORCE WHEN THE ORDER IS GIVEN

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

God as an idea, in the sense of the threat of divine retribution for sinfulness? Yes. God as a distinct entity? Not so much. The people who are likely to reflect on the will of God and base moral decisions on that tend to be the type to be more morally conscious anyway.

[Skyros]

To clarify, are you suggesting God is merely an idea?

[NamerOfStars]

No. I'm saying that the idea of Ged exists independently of God, and that one can affect things without hhe other being involved.
