Default Re: Is it immoral to believe in anecdotal \"answered prayer?\"

I'd agree (as I suggested in my earlier post) that a morality based on all the good you're not doing doesn't really seem useful or tenable. But if we agree that that is the case, then I think arguing about the morals of some god is going to be awfully confusing if you're holding that god to a different moral standard than humans. Would it be human immoral to worship something that doesn't live up to god morality? It might still be way better than any human morality. And so on.

The only thing we have are moral judgements and being human the judgments we make are human ones. Its meaningless to talk about gods morality this way - whatever we learn about god we are still left with human judgement about it. If god disagrees then so be it, I can only judge it better or worse using my human facilities.
