Yes the world would be so different if we all of us were more Godly!

Come on! We have a loving God who wants us to be loving and patient and kind! What’s wrong with that? Why are you talking about murder? Jesus says in Luke 13:5 “you have to repent too or you will perish like them” That makes sense that God requires us to be loving! He is God and has high standards for us!

Well you think people should behave more like god.
Is it or is it not a repeated theme in the bible that god will forgoe punishing his servant because he did a good job but will kill his children after he dies?
Yes, that's a fact.
So would the world be better if we followed that example?
Nah.
So when you suggest the world would be better if we behaved more like god, it seems to me that you must necessarily be cherry picking the nice parts like love and sacrifice and ignoring that nasty parts.

God is a judge, we are not! You put yourself equal to God! We will never come close to be as loving as God but we should try! We should do what God says! God has a right to judge us because he knows Pikachu heart, motivation, and how many hairs on your head he says ! He can judge you! And he does!
You on the other hand can’t judge anyone else nor can I. He judges fairly! How do I know? Because I know his heart! I know my heart! I deserve death because my heart is so wicked compared to Gods heart! He has revealed the truth about me to myself when I was saved that day many, many years ago and he also revealed to me the truth about God!
Take my word that he is just! It’s a total miracle that any “atheist”
is not struck dead immediately the way you all speak about God (like God is not loving etc) But he is patient with you knowing you are just speaking about him ruling the world without knowledge about heaven, hell, or how he made the world, or the universe, or knowing a child or persons heart and what will happen after death!
You don’t know do you?
So how can you say!

You are challenging God to strike you or even kill you if you are not correct about God? He WILL strike you! Because no one can dare God ever It is guaranteed! By the grace of God may he spare your life! But saying that God WILL strike you in one way or another! And for many he turns away and abandons people for the rest of their life!

I know i'm not perfect. And there's things i've done that i wish i had not done. I certainly have regrets. Not sure why i have to bow and scrape to some higher authority in order to validate that regret and i don't think i deserve death or eternal torture for my failures.
