Re: I would NOT do God\'s will if he were immoral
[ QUOTE ]
This debate is massively dependant on people's definitions of 'god', 'god's will', and the like. Also their definition of whether god=omnipitent+good, if this is the case then obv it would be wrong to deny him any request.
Although, that also depends upon your definition of 'wrong'.

If God is both omnipotent and good, then he can't authentically make any immoral request. Because God is omnipotent, he never has to incur any cost in order to achieve a goal. Because God is good, he can only desire "bad" when it's a necessary cost in order to achieve a greater good.
But I think the problem of evil renders an omnipotent benevolent God impossible, regardless. If there is a God, that God must be either imperfect in power or imperfect in love.
