And further to that, does god really know right from wrong? He thought it was ok to sacrifice his own son to torture and death. In my world, infanticide for any reason is pretty bad.

Do you really believe God killed His Son? Or did He allow it to happen?
That's a sort of slippery slope as 'right' and 'wrong' can be contextual.
What makes you say he/she doesnt know right from wrong, if he exists. Wasnt he God's #1henchman? Maybe he just enjoyed being an egomaniac?

If God is omniscient and god created Satan then God created Satan to be evil.
In that case, if Satan was created to be 'evil' then is he 'wrong' if he does good?

As for HIM, the fat bastard,
I reckon he messed up absolutely everything, I mean isn't he pure evil, you can say that, say, a psychopath does know right from wrong, but just doesn't care, but I believe otherwise. If he really knew it, I don't see how he wouldn't do the right thing. If you know what's the right thing to do, you do it.
You really need to watch Bryan Fuller's Hannibal. They touch on theology a LOT. Fascinating. Hannibal knew right from wrong. He just thought he was on the same playing field as god.
Yeah I think you're onto something. If brought up as atheist would I go about smacking old ladies in the face and kicking kittens? Doubtful. 1. I would be dragged before the court and more importantly 2. that would make me feel bad emotionally
lol yeah.
It would be like me saying now, as an adult, "I don't need my mom to teach me right from wrong or to support me! I already (as an adult) KNOW right from wrong, AND I have a job and can take care of myself; therefore, I never needed her for anything."

I am an atheist! But I really wanted to believe in heaven! To live imagining that something more exists should be so good! But I'm very attached to what I can see and feel to believe in an architect of life. I grew up in church (unfortunately) and saw so much, but I never felt ANYTHING! I believe that Jesus existed but died on the cross so God is dead! If there is a religion that I respect, it is Buddhism, not exactly a religion when we begin to understand the teachings of Buddha. It really is a beautiful philosophy of life that I believe I would identify a lot if I dig more.

You can't rebut this without being a hypocrite.

I do believe that 'right' is (the path to) God, and 'wrong' (the path to) the devil. I believe they're the opposites.

Would He be more godly if He had forced mankind to act according to His will?
So knowledge is bad? Knowledge is what Satan gave to man (through Eve).

I soooo don't want to get bogged down in details of a tangent BUT... i must
Is knowledge itself bad? Or was it the disobedience to God's commandment that was bad? Did Satan do good by providing knowledge, or was it manipulation of promising something that appeared good (though they were not read for that knowledge), to trick them into disobeying?
I guess a pedophile could claim that he/she was just teaching the birds and the bees. I mean, one day that information would be useful? WOAH hahaha I can't believe THAT just rolled off my keyboard. ..mmmmmk, then! I'm just going to slowly back away from the keys and go get a coffee to reflect on wtf.

"Satan"
The best character in the anonymous Best-Seller called THE HOLY BIBLE.
I used to read a lot about the misadventures of poor Lucifer who may have been God's most unrighteous being.
God is unconscious... Then he created the poor devil already knowing that he would be envious and that he would have to expel the poor one from the paradise ...
In God's mind: I'll create this bastard to be my rival because... Well, who knows what the **** he was thinking hehe

No, but he forced his angel army to act according to his will.
What incident are you referring to, or are you speaking in general?
