Would a moral God step up to his responsibilities?
God cannot do miracles. If he could, he would.

From God’s POV, all here must be perfect. He began in perfection and would not back slide to anything less. That’s scripture. It is to us to see things as he does.
From mankind’s POV, all here is not perfection. This contrary and wrong POV is promoted by religion and is generally accepted to some degree by most people. I tend to agree with God even as most do not.
From a moral stand point, most will agree, that if one sees a wrong that they can right; they will do the right thing and right the wrong. This is the right thing to do.
The fact that there are preventable human evil acts being perpetrated by mankind, supposedly created by God, and he does not act, means that a moral God does not exist.
A moral God takes responsibility and God is not stepping up. A moral God would. If he could that is. Just as all of us would. We are in his image and know that stepping up is a good idea.
Perhaps God is not the miracles working super God. You know the one. The one that man has created to hold all of his hopes and wishes, dreams and desires, loves, ---- and hates ---, and although never seen in any real way, --- believers will kill for Him. Insanity.
If God does exist, and is not moral, then what good is he to mankind or you?
Would you want life without morals?
No wonder then that Eve, the first to be as God/human, ----yes there is a difference, ---- had the wisdom to have adam/mankind, eat of it. What a wonderful myth.
Believers who follow a God without morals, Bible God, should question why they do.
God has a basis in reality but certainly not like the God without morals that has somehow been molded by what was initially, a rather beautiful ideas. The Bible.
To think and act God like, is to ----- do unto others.
If God creates man, then it should be for a best end. Not an evil end like hell. Fact is, many millions die daily of easily preventable cause. Allowed to by a miracle working God who just does not step up.
The fact that God, who by definition, would have the attribute of taking responsibility, as any good entity would, proves beyond any doubt that a moral miracle working God cannot exists.
And if there is a miracle working God, mankind should give him a thumbs down for his lack of morals.
Can a moral God exist?
Is it moral for God who wants relevance to mankind, to not step up?
As a creator God does he have any responsibility to what he creates?

There is something the New Testament calls the Prince of this world. This is maybe who you are referring to as not being moral.
The fact that there are preventable human evil acts being perpetrated by mankind, supposedly created by God, and he does not act, means that a moral God does not exist.

No because moral would dictate that god should not step in.
This would only create new issues.
This is also my moral dilemma regarding organised religion, who teach that god will step in.

Apparently, you missed the Moral Miracle at the Crucifixion.

I think it might be wrong to think of God in terms of some ethereal being who is omnipresent and able to see, determine or even care about everything that goes on on the planet when maybe God was a highly evolved guy who visited once and knocked up a few of the local girls and they still tell stories about him. Oh yes...he will be back, he said he was coming back.
I mean I am not saying it happened that way but God might be the distillation of what was a great race of people once here and now either assimilated into the population. The leader El or Yahweh whatever you want to call him might be coming back or might have moved on.

Yes, and He will. Just because He hasn't yet does not mean that judgment isn't coming. So why hasn't He stepped in yet? Because God is willing that NONE should perish, but that ALL should come to repentence. He's giving us time, He is quite patient.

Lol, God is VERY moral. Who do you think Jesus Christ was? He was God in the flesh and he preached to love everyone and to be at peace. He tried to derail us from our destructive ways and we nailed him to a cross for it.
Youre trying to judge God by man's standards and it just doesn't work because he is above man. .

I have went through, maybe still going through this exact delima. One theory I have is (short form) We are all one with God in Gods heavens, We always consult God before making decisions, at some time I, our you or whoever made a decision without consulting God, like lucifer, he tried to take over the heavens, ( he was making his own decisions) God cast lucifer to earth and no where in the bible does it say lucifer left earth, so next thing I or you or whoever know I?we are cast to earth to learn our mistake(s) livign in satans space. If there is a just God that is one of my theorys. Another theory is, whoever these God(s) are we are worshipping are playing games with us because to let a living creation come to the brink of anialation like what is happening know across the golobe can only mean something very hateful, negative and cruely is over seeing us.
peace
