Why does god put the needs of the few above the needs of the many?

That moral tenet is about the only objective moral tenet I know of that has not been shown to ever be subjective. Yahweh seems to be doing the wrong thing.

We are told that most of us will end on the wide road to hell while the few end on the narrow path to heaven.

It is demonstrable that nature creates for the best possible end.

Why does Yahweh not follow the better rules he gave nature, and creates us for the worst possible end for the vast majority of us?

A decent father would not have the morals or ethics Yahweh seems to follow.

If true, then we end with more souls lost to Satan than souls saved by Yahweh. Even as scriptures say that Yahweh wills that all souls be saved.

God not getting his will is not allowed. God must always come out ahead. Something is not right for god.

Thoughts?

When you're that powerful, no morality applies: it's all about preference or whim.
God gets so bored with the pleas and whimpers of all those bedraggled earthquake victims and drowning refugees: they're all the same and have nothing to offer in return. Now, if a soccer forward with Jesus tattooed on his back needs a goal, well, granting that prayer is just so much more fun: that highly-paid hero of thousands will fall on his knees, kiss the spat-upon turf, cross himself three or times, howl at the sky, maybe even shed tears of joy and rapture - in front of international television cameras.
I mean, it's hardly a tough choice!

I agree that the word moral does not apply to Yahweh and that the religious are self-centered.

To Christians, basically, the feminine traits. That is why they show Satan as female in paintings like the Expulsion of Adam and Eve.

That is why they are misogynous and homophobic and refuse to give women and gays equal rights.

I was writing of the Christian version of Satan.

Not the Loyal opposition Ha-Satan of Jewry but an actual opposition to Yahweh.

Okay.
and that the religious are self-centered.
I didn't say that part. Everybody is self-centered - religious, pretend-religious, nominally religious, indifferent, illereligious and mildly or militantly antireligious - everybody. Even dogs and earthworms.
I said gods are powerful enough to make their own morality, or have no morality at all. Whatever morality we have, we make ourselves, for ourselves - and sometimes only for other people. We can't foist any of it on the gods.

Satan is the one who can cheat you blind. I think all religions are made by Him.

Apparently, I am very bright since I am in the state of doubt when it comes to spiritual reality.
