Human babies are created solely by the actions of their parents. Does that give parents license to kill their children at some point when they feel it is necessary?1) God, as Creator of the universe, is not bound by the same moral code as humans are. For instance, if I were to create an object, I would not be held responsible for later destroying said object. In the same way, God, as Creator of humanity (and the rest of the universe), is justified in whatever He chooses to do with His people.
This argument essentially boils down to "God is bigger and smarter than us, therefore he has no reason to treat his children humanely."
Your opinion is not relevant when there is an objective truth. A child is created solely by the actions of its parents. Period.I don't consider a child my "creation." All of humanity is created by God, not man.
As for his second point, my Biblical knowledge isn't strong enough.
BTW, Talen, fix your link, I don't want fundies flying in here.

I'm studying for the CPA exam. Have a nice summer, and if you're down just sit back and realize that Joe is off somewhere, doing much worse than you are.
