Well... if you're going to try and keep your children in line with threat of death and torture after death, have you really given them independance?

I'm not trying to say God is evil. I'd have to believe in God to say that, and if He does exist, I don't believe he is evil. Not benevolent, but not evil either.

Well that is silly reasoning.
Interesting fact: Sherlock Homes was an opium addict. Does that imply he existed? If we can apply 'good' and 'bad', both very abstract qualitys, to something equaly as abstract as say, legislation, then surly we can apply it to a diety who may or may not exist.

[Shambling Zombie]

Fair point.

[Siquo]

In that case he's as good as his reasons coincide with yours (as that's the definition of "absolute good"). Because his reasons are generally not known (lots of disagreement there), it's quite impossible to label him good or bad.

[Leafsnail]

Well, if we're talking about God as a character who appeared in the bible (real or not) then we are usually told his reasons.

[Max White]

Reason: People are sinners.
Action: Water them down a little.
Moral compication: God feels bad about the floating bodys.
Resolution: The rainbow!

And we've never been that bad ever since, so it worked. Now what?

Uh... really?

Realy? Because I got lawful good from that. I mean have you ever see lawful good? It is mistakable for evil.

Objection!

Generally, killing almost everything on Earth is considered evil. God did it because we broke his rules enough, and thus the action is lawful.

See, it is lawful, so were going along the 'good to evil' axis now.
But, god felt regret, showing killing the people wasn't something he realy wanted to do, showing good. Therefor, lawful good!
And I mean realy, has there ever been a lawful good character that hasn't had to deal with some struggle between lawful and good? It's the biggest running theme in alignments! Every other alignment has their shit together.

And that is why I am chaotic nutural.

"So yeah, so sorry I decided to kill everything on Earth there. Here, have a rainbow."
I'm not really buying that for a second. Lawful Evil.
