Almost as if different people made up those orders
You have to ask permission from your Sky Daddy before plundering the countryside.
Say that God told you to feed and shelter the poor: Go to jail 
Say that God told you to kill, maim and commit wanton acts of depravity: 
my theory is that God is an ancap
I hate that this makes sense. 
ik 
It all makes a lot more sense when you see this "God" as the Demiurge.
And entire sense if you don't see him at all.
The other option is of course "Just As Panned/ I meant for you to sin all along sucker because the reconciliation is the point".
Sidestepping theism/atheism because i seriously couldn't care if somebody does or doesn't believe, but personally I like the concept of eyn sof, or the 'first cause' to describe the real creative force behind the universe - and anything lesser is basically just a roided up version of a human soul, which is to say, flawed and created - and anything close enough to us to appear to us or issue dictates to prophets or w/e is probably something created and therefore beneath worship.
I feel like any kind of actual creative force behind existence probably doesn't give any particular shits about what we're getting up to.
Does seem like a bit of a self own.
"I have created man and woman!"
"I have also made women icky so they have to go hide in a tent for 1/4 of their life"
Okay whatever weirdo.
"I have created shell fish! Do not eat them!"
Strong agree here sea bugs are gross. Point; god
"Hey, this is a mixed residential area! Zoning prohibits buildings over three stories! Aight you little shits try building a skyscraper when half of you speak swahili and the other half speak dutch!"
Petty, but funny. God win.
I love me some clams. But a good chunk of those religious dietary restrictions were made with solid reasoning.
"Don't Eat Shellfish" is the ancient world equivalent of "Don't ride in a helicopter"
or osprey
At the same time, how many of you let your Sims live their happy little routines in their comfortable consumerist cocoons and how many of you figured out you could delete the ladder when they were in the pool?
Well, Im not supposed to be conceptually incapable of evil. 
I think we have sufficient evidence that the conceptually incapable of evil part is obvious propaganda
SimCity had a whole top-level menu dedicated to summoning disasters. We never stood a chance.
I didn't know it was possible to kill them until somebody else told me, and I felt so bad the couple of times I did it that it destroyed the fun of that household.
Sims was boring, so I didn't play it
God made heaven and earth during his cringe phase and can no longer look at it
Makes me think of the gnostic meme where Sophia asks the Demiurge if he's winning and Earth is on literal fire.
This here though, is a clear example of religion being used to explore concepts which may be taboo in other lenses (or unavailable if you go back far enough) and all said concepts are human social construct ones. God figures are in our image, just like our social reality to a large degree.
Is this the plot of Prometheus?
Attack and dethrone this asshole
Thanks, needed this today.
