Do you ? Why ? How do you know that this god is the only god ? That the

interesting is why assume that internal morality could not have a similar

observance of a fixed standard better than imperfect observance of a
standard that may change over time. And when I do fail to meet it, if I
confess and
But you don't know if the standard will not change over time or if the
'observance' of this standard does not change over time. The suggestion
that the god would provide you with such a standard is hardly conclusive.
Hamilton: repent, the articulator of the standard will forgive me and
continue to develop me into the individual he wants me to be. He cares
more about mentoring and developing people than he does about punishing
disobedience.
And this is based upon your admitted 'imperfect' observance ? So what else
do you think could have been imperfectly observed about this god ?
