A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.

- Be good to others - no bigotry - including racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, or xenophobia
- Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct

But the moral code of the Bible is strict and unchangeable. Yet you yourself believe morality is relative. Why then are you content letting this being you admit has no capability for relativistic perspective judge our eternal souls based on said unchangeable moral code? Seems pretty illogical.
When did I say morality is relative?
That's moral relativism to a T. The evil perpetrated by God on humans via unnecessary pain, disease, and death is relatively moral given the vastness of eternity. Basically you're saying it's ok for a god to create little playthings to torture because it lives a long time. I disagree.
Evil isn't perpetuated by God, though. Evil is perpetuated by us.
Perpetuate - "make something continue indefinitely"
So we perpetuate it, but who created it? Who made us with the ability to perpetuate evil? Who decided what is and isn't evil? Why do you only give god credit for the good stuff when you believe it made everything in the universe? You have to count the bad stuff too or it's not really god.
We have free will. Satan brought evil into the world. God will destroy Satan, but first, He's proving Satan wrong that humans aren't unworthy.
Who made Satan? And why would God knowingly enter into a bargain over the souls he created with the embodiment of evil? Why does the most powerful being ever conceived need to prove anything to anyone? Much less someone he created.
