Don't you see that judging God according to what you think, as a man from the dust, IS SIN.
According to what? The Bible?

Bah! Thought so. Of course the creators of your god would have the foresight to include questioning their power source's attributes as being a "sin".
Think about it this way... Imagine you want to do something horrific (mass murder, enslavement, and rape) but can't quite justify it on your own. What to do?
Well, if I were in that situation, I would summon a concept that makes those actions untouchable. Unquestionable. I would summon the concept of God (In the Old Testament sense).
Now after doing this, I would imagine some of my smarter "sheep" would start to ask... "Well what gives God the right to do this... but also the right to judge us?". To this I would reply identically to the authors response "YOU CANNOT JUDGE GOD YOU MAGGOT!"

Hmmm... sounds a lot like the argument I just presented a moment ago. Never mind this is a logical fallacy (Do as I say, not as I do).

Appeal to Fear.
Appeal to force.

Circular Reasoning.
Wishful Thinking.
Equivocation.

Your problem is that your own morals REQUIRE that you sin against God by speaking falsely against him, or WORSE - from ignorance.
Ad hominem.
Association fallacy.
Appeal to Motive.
Judgmental language.

Yes... as a matter of fact I think we all do.
How hard they must find it, those who take authority as truth, rather than truth as the authority.
