As an alien, he should be rejected as man's prime example.
Man should lead men. Not some klingon or Ferengy.
When the example is a good one, as in the case of the teachings of Christ (or Gandhi, MLK, or any such other of wisdom), I'll follow it regardless. The example of man in general, however, has let me down time and time again.
Do you not think it immoral to line up to try to profit from his murder?
God set all the conditions for his death and I call that murder and here you are trying to profit from a horrendous and immoral act. Tsk tsk. Shame on you.
Funny, that...I thought it was the jewish and roman leadership who set the conditions for his death (and, you could make the argument, merely god who foresaw it and used it for the accomplishing of his will).
Do I feel it's immoral to accept a gift that has been offered, or that has been bought at a hard price? Of course not. As far as judging the morality of such a thing, refer back to the scientist example above. We fumble in the dark to understand what is moral or not, and ants could judge the morality of almost any human activity in error in light of their perspective and awareness of greater things beyond their scope.
Take care.

I only see one good God from start to finish and from all eternity past and into all eternity future. A few verses. -
Mr 12:32 And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he:
Mr 12:33 And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.
Mr 12:34 And when Jesus saw that he answered discreetly, he said unto him, Thou art not far from the kingdom of God. And no man after that durst ask him any question.
2Co 5:19 To wit, that God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing their trespasses unto them; and hath committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Joh 10:30 I and my Father are one.
Joh 10:31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him.
1Ki 4:29 ¶ And God gave Solomon wisdom and understanding exceeding much, and largeness of heart, even as the sand that is on the sea shore.
Wisdom is from God and I believe you will find another name of Christ.
God was never and ever will be anything but good, follow him, it is the safe and right path that few find. Sibbs

Jesus Christ is the tree of life.
The other tree of the duality leads to destruction.

The Tree of Life. Tree of Sephirot. Tree of Books. Sepher in Hebrew means book or number.
The Tree of life is an important part of the Qabala (Kaballah). Its origin lies in Egypt some 3000 years B.C. It was further developed by Jewish mystics between 100 and 600 AD and more thoroughly written between 1280 and 1286 by Moses ben Shem Tov de Leon in Guadalajara, Spain.
The Qabala originated in Judaism, but has been adapted to numerous other religious systems. There was the mystic Jacob Boehme (1575-1624), whose writings influenced the nineteenth-century magicians, who led the Golden Dawn, which became known as the "Western Mystery tradition".
Qabala is a system of thought, a way to correlate a variety of archetypes, each symbolizing a different aspect of living. Psychology, Tarot, Astrology, Mythology, Theosophy, Dreamworking, Numerology, Poetry and Geometry all harmonize in the Tree of Life.
The Tree is a map of personal energies and thought. It is a way to bring balance and harmony into life. In the sephirot one can see, where imbalances have developed and can do "patchwork" or active imagination" rituals and exercises to bring balance.
Qabala is relatively new, though the notion, that it is a reconstruction of the lost knowledge of the ancients adds to its appeal. Some say the 10 commandments given to Moses on Mount Sinai are the same 10 sephirot in the Tree of Life. Egypt is also included in the patronage.

They contain information. Your inane questions do not. Like right here.
That is why I generally ignore you.
