That God isn't accountable and wasn't elected.

True, but how is that a problem; it is God. Is a human a better than God to make those decisions?

I suppose all of this assumes that God is infallible, but I imagine God has more information and processing power than the President.

I am not suggesting a theocracy. I doubt God is whispering in anyone's ear today, and humans can still make bad decisions and claim it was God's will. Just a thought exercise.

  • When people claim that God led their hand what they mean is that they will just do whatever they want to do and there isn't a thing you can do about because you are no match for God. This has caused 100's of millions of people to die so far.

  • its a problem in that there's no alignment mechanism between what god wants and what the people want/need.

    god could still be infallible at achieving his goals but they still arent the right goals.
