Why does God not follow the Golden Rule? His best rule?

I have a hard time seeing God as --- doing unto others as he would want done to himself --- in the clip above. I cannot see God wanting someone to do what he did to the women who owned those wombs to him. He is therefore certainly not walking his talk or fallowing his own good advice.

It seems that people are more responsible than God as we are trying to get everyone on board the Golden Rule that God ignores.

is it a case of do as i say, not as i do? :)

of course to me it is all a tragic lack of comprehension.
"It is I who am God; there is none apart from me." When he said this, he sinned against the entirety. And this speech got up to incorruptibility; then there was a voice that came forth from incorruptibility, saying, "You are mistaken, Samael" – which is, "god of the blind."

That quote applies to all the demiurge Gods.

Do as I say, not as I do, to me, is quite an immoral policy.

As to how it applies to scriptures. It is refuted by --- Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

Do as I say, not as I do cannot be perfect even if God thinks so.

Then again, I do not see much in the way of good morality in God.

to me, also GB :yes: and thankfully also to the majority of us.

now what about that dreary minority who say "the money will trickle down" while all the time working to make the profits flow upstream and the shit flow downstream :-D

i've said it before

yhwh says you have all the sin, i'll have all the glory.

the elite says you do all the work, i'll take all the profits.

they seem similar in some way :lol: oh yes, neither are very good at the golden rule.

I hear you.

That fact is quite apparent to both of us if you have read my O.P. on our oligarch owners.
