Alright might as well explain my topic. I don’t know if this topic necessarily belongs in the philosophy or the religious forum but I am posting this here.
Lets say you are well god what would you expect of those that follow you.
And if they failed your expectations what than.
I’ll give my own response after I do some writing on the weekened.
Going by my definition of Good and Evil God would be the traditional all good all powerful all knowing God. I would probably lay out a commandment that if anyone ever raped another person the punishment is death.
If I were God, I wouldn’t expect ‘followers’ at all.
let them live in the reality they create, let them live in the reality they wished exist. why. because good exists, since good exists freedom exists, since freedom exists evil is made possible, if chosen. good exists because it should, evil exist because it does (unfortunatel) The fact that i (and others) want goodness to exist, that fact alone makes goodness exist, our good intent, makes goodness real. good exists because it is wanted. god exists because good exists. if good exists; a reality with a good god ,…should exist. it has to, because i want it. it has to because some of you exists. god exists because he should. and this should be a reality where: what should be; IS.
Circular
How can our existence predicate a God which by definition should predicate ours?
Then again… maybe the universe is a big circle. My brain hurts.
If i were god i would kill myself…
but other then that the question is an irrational one… like asking “can god make a rock he himself cannot lift?”
Seeing as how I would be GOD… I could not “expect” anything of my followers as i already know what they are going to do… also they could not fail my “expectations” for the same reason… if they failed it is because i wanted them to… and then they would not have “failed” my “expectations”…
I would expect them to hate me for making an imperfect world if I claim to be all-powerful. I would expect them to view me as a braggard and a coward for not showing face and explaining all the shit I have created. I would expect them to expect nothing of me at all because I do not exist.
As a god what powers would I have. I mean, Gods can be limited just as anything else. If I was all knowing and all powerful then why would I have followers or even expect anything out of them? I sure wouldn’t need them unless I was bored or had an ego trip.
Or I just felt like creating heirs so that they could eventually surpass me, as all good parents would want or guardians. Then I would give them a varied and challenging life to be able to learn and grow so that I could eventually communicate and have peers and help them to surpass me. To create new challenges and grow more. Etc…
