If in the beginning a god created a playpen for the human
species, and the playpen was designed so that mankind could live, play and reproduce
to their hearts content with no law other than “if it feels good do it”, would such
a free and easy creator be rejected, mocked and denied by his creatures? On face value without looking to closely at
ego, pride, selfishness etc, it is doubtful; he would be universally loved and
no one would think of trying to get such a god out of their life or out of
existence.
But if we were to make this god a Holy God, a God of
absolute Righteousness and Immutable Justice, demanding morality, integrity and
self-control from his creatures, then what would we have. One only need look at the world in which we
live to see what we would and do have. The problem mankind faces is not an intellectual problem, it
is a moral problem.
