The Biblical God's conduct and culpability

[Compassionist]

[Candle]

If, as you say, "All sentient biological beings feel pain and that gives us rights," from where do those rights come, and what is there to ensure that they are not violated?

Those rights come from entities capable of taking em away.

There's no assurance a right enjoyed today ain't taken away tomorrow.

What entities are they? Are they ghosts? Are they aliens? Surely, you have SOME idea where your rights originate.

Government is one source, among others such as work places, and the pretty thing.

Where do you think we get em?

Until one can show a god exists and has an opinion on the matter, rights're bound to humans who either let others have em, or they don't.

Pharaoh was not punished for hardening his heart. He was punished for mistreating the children of Israel and refusing to let them leave. All the hardening of his heart was merely a means to an end.

Considering the plagues he inflicted, God effectively punished all of Egypt for the actions of one man. Now where have I seen something like that before? Yahweh/Jehovah/God is the ultimate one-trick pony.

If your rights are granted to you by another human, you are their slave. They own you.

Welcome to society.

Welcome to society.

Not the one I live in.

You may be lucky enough to live in a van down by the river, but the rest of us're beholden to humans for our rights.
