SUPPOSE God IS, AND unfair; now how much sense does it make to oppose Him ?
If God exists how can He be immoral ?
This is why I continually proclaim : IF God IS then whatever He does is righteous.
Is it not better to get on His side even if you disagree ?
Supposing that God exists, and is unfair, why not oppose him? If he is unfair, you cannot count on his good will even if you do what you think he wants. If he is unfair, you might as well be a free being, than one enslaved to a tyrant.
God's morality really depends on the kind of God you believe in. I mean sure, he says he is righteous, but all we have is his word for it. I just don't think that a stronger power is necessarily a more moral power, that just reeks of "might makes right." If I am misrepresenting your position, I apologize.
As to getting on his side, it would only be better provided that no other God exists. Really though, this is just another version of Pascal's Wager, and we all know how valid that argument is.
