A Naturalistic World

[vulcanlogician]

Might makes right for god...not for people.

How can you say that? It seems like there is a principle at work in your system that you haven't elaborated upon. After all, "might makes right"... that's easy to understand. That means if the devil somehow became stronger than god, you'd say: "Time to switch sides."

Or if a person became stronger than God, "it's time to serve that person rather than God." After all, that person would pretty much qualify as a god at that point. A better god than God even.

I don't know where you get the "for gods not people" clause though. Why doesn't "might makes right" translate over into the realm of people? Why shouldn't it?

I get that God's commands trumps all people's because of the power differential. And I get that God may sometimes command that you favor weak people over strong ones.

But what about issues where God hasn't laid down a law on the matter? In that case (if your principle is might makes right) then you ought to always side with the strongest person involved in any debate. After all, that's what "might makes right" entails. If you don't like THAT, than you have an issue with might makes right IN PRINCIPLE.
