God gives life and takes life, and He has the right to do that. And all those children that die are still living with God today. I would suggest until you create your first universe. You might want to hold off judgement of God.
Your god had nothing to do with creating the universe, and the more I see of statements such as you have made, the less I respect religion...I have given my children life, but that does not give me the right to kill them....I will continue to judge the god you believe in for what he would be if he actually existed...Cruel and lacking in empathy of any kind...If he were human he would be called a psychopath. There is no god.
Reading Exodus 31:15-18, it struck me as odd that God instructed everyone to obey the 10 commandments while, at the same time, he wanted those who worked on the sabbath to be put to death. Which got me thinking about all the killing God did and ordered others to do. Is God above the Thou Shall Not Kill? Why wouldn't he want to follow his own commandments?
I have to answer to my boss, but who does the top boss have to answer to? No one.

Why would you waste your time being angry at something that doesn't exist? Sounds like you're not 100% sure.
Before the 10 Commandments one could kill others if they thought God told them to. Yet today we have the 10 Commandments which tells us not to murder.
And the bears that were sent to kill those who mocked the bald man were killed not by the bald man, but by God's will. The fact is God removes people all the time. So for you to believe that people still have the right to kill people when they believe they hear the voice of God instructing them to do so, would be in error.
I never said I believe people who think "God" is telling them to kill have the right to kill. I said they might think they have the right to kill, and thus will proceed to do so. This has happened many times in the past. One of the dangers of religion.
You have the right to do anything at all. It's only society, or law, that tries to tell you that you do not have the right to do something or other. I'm opposed to both.
Your god had nothing to do with creating the universe, and the more I see of statements such as you have made, the less I respect religion...I have given my children life, but that does not give me the right to kill them....I will continue to judge the god you believe in for what he would be if he actually existed...Cruel and lacking in empathy of any kind...If he were human he would be called a psychopath.

I fail to see how you read anger in anything Sanspeur stated. He's simply calling out your god for what he is, whether he exists or not.
