The problem with this question is one wonders whether this is written by a person who does not acknowledge the truth the Creator exists or written by a person who has a narrow-mind view of religion and God.
If written by an atheist, then the question is designed to elicit ignorant responses typical of those who think that they have no need to acknowledge the Creator of Life. The atheist will then delight in the exhibition of cynicism, sarcasm, and ridicule in the responses.
If written by a religionist, especially one who has a shallow understanding of the attributes of God the Creator and Judge of all, then one can imagine the sardonic pleasure the person gains from reading the responses written by those, who are expressing their ignorance as they scoff, comparing the Creator with manmade images, which are really a projection of their own ideas of what they worship—usually some solipsistic image of their own creation.
The God of the Bible wrote the Ten Commandments. The Bible is a historically accurate book that has been proven archaeologically reliable with numerous finds—far too many to mention, but some are below:
The reality about existence in our current biological form is that it’s short-lived. Either a person accepts that existence is just a matter of being born, suffering and ceasing to exist, or eternity exists and being a finite mortal with limited knowledge, a superior individual is required for the truth to be known. Such an individual cannot be another human because humans know very little—even those who might possess an encyclopedic mind.
The Ten Commandments are the only words attested historically to have been written by the Lord God, Creator of the Universe. Not to understand the Ten Commandments before scoffing at them is the height of ignorance and everybody knows what an ignorant person is called.
As it stands, there is only one person whom I know who can quote those Ten Commandments in their entirety. Rather surprising, really, when one thinks about it. However, there are numerous people who comment on them who demonstrate their ignorance. Unfortunately for these individuals, they do not realize how ignorant they really are, for they think they are intelligent—many of them love to rave about IQ, which hopefully does not mean Ignorance Quotient.
Now any intelligent person, who had to face a judge that clearly stated that according to the law of the land the person had to be be punished, would at least seek for mercy, rather than be punished. Self-preservation demands it from an intelligent person.
Laws are written down so that judges cannot become arbitrary dictators who are like Humpty Dumpty and lose their focus. Irrespective of other interpretations, Humpty Dumpty is an apt illustration of an egg-head; especially one who has such a high opinion that when his or her pride consumes them, like death having the last say, they are brought low after all and are no better off than any other person—
”What a waste of space”, said Alice.“Not really,” replied the Cat. ”Cracked eggs provide good protein for grubs when all said and done. Stalin, Mao, Hitler are just the same as us all.”“Are they the three stooges?” inquired Alice. “I thought there names were Larry Curly and Mo.”“What’s it matter, said the Cat, “You have only proven my point.”
If the Creator of the Universe gave humans Ten Dictates by which they were to be judged, then there would be no need for mercy, since everybody complies with the just requirements.
Why would anybody have to beg for forgiveness, if nobody has done nothing wrong?
Why would there be a need for judgment any way?
Every person is merely born to die. We know this because the biology teacher told us so. But who told her? How can she be so sure?
What about the atheist who mentored Richard Dawkins? Before he died, he changed his mind about the brilliance of being an atheist. Moreover, he paid out on Dawkins for being a bigger fool than he was: Professor Antony Flew reviews The God Delusion.
Wonder what Jesus meant when He said:
- Make friends quickly with your accuser, while you are going with him to court, lest your accuser hand you over to the judge, and the judge to the guard, and you be put in prison; truly, I say to you, you will never get out till you have paid the last penny.
Punishment is not a problem when the judge can be bribed like those on Earth and we can get leniency. When it comes to eternity, though, being put in prison is not something I would like. Eternal punishment is not something I would like to countenance. Forgiveness and mercy seem like a better option. Who is the accuser, though?
