Does a God have to rule?
I'm not asking if their is or isn't a God, or if that if there is one, that we have to follow him. I'm simply asking if does the concept of being God, come with the clause of having to be a ruler.

Yes, if the world leaders did follow God (not a crazy nazi aztec god), Hilter would not have done what he had, wars would not have happended. God is peaceful and loving(not the crazy one i just meantioned). I'm not saying we would wait for a reply from God, but if world leaders did what God might do in a situation, (pretty much doing what would be the best for the majority of the citizens) we would have a good, peaceful time. Although the title of the debate might be a little confusing with the word "have" . Have might mean must, which i mostly consider it does mean "must". What does "must" mean exactly, anyways? Like its not possible that a "must" cannot be done? In that case, it is deafinitly not a must that God has to rule, but it would be benificial. Side: Yes

1. Most world leaders technically do follow God, it depends on which one your talking about. Aside from a few countries, most modern day world leaders identify as to being religious. Here in the United States, almost all of our presidents have identified as christian. 2. Hitler did not do what he did simply because he, in your words, "rejected God" . While I will concede that Hitler was most likely not a Christian (due to personal recorded statements), he never renounced his belief in a higher power and a great deal of the Germans and other Europeans who helped carry out the Holocaust were Christian. Plus, Hitlers anti-semitism (as well as anti-semitism in the West as a whole) has its roots in Christianity. Back during mideviel Europe, numerous pogroms were comitted against jews. 3. Most of the countries who score the highest when it comes to living conditions have largely non-religious populations, such as Sweden and the Czech Republic Side: No
Of course God has to rule. Image what the world would be like if God didn't rule. And image what the world would be like if we let Jesus be the center of our lives. Just image how the world would be like if everyone let Jesus be the center of their lives. Life would be so peaceful and joyful. Side: Yes

Well that all depends really on your definition of God. But my answer would be no. If the defining factor of God is "something that created everything," the concept of God doesn't even have to be a personal god or even a conscious one. This "god" could be something along the lines of Aristotle's "Unmoved Mover". http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Side: No
