If I stomp on an ant, (most) people won’t care.
If I trap/kill a mouse, (most) people won’t care.
If I kick a pet dog, more people will be concerned. (Michael Vick got jail time.)
If I behave that way toward a child, I will be put in jail.
If I JUST PLAN to hurt the President of the US, I would be in BIG trouble.
The greater the stature of the creature, the greater the offense.
The perfect, glorious, creator God is INFINITELY holy. Therefore, rebellious activity (sin) against "that" God is correspondingly greatly offensive.
It is cosmic treason.
We underestimate God's glory and we overestimate our worth.
An atheist friend recently wrote, "If someone were to reject this perfect being, that would be no skin of its back. It would let them choose." He sees his sin as too small and he see God as too inconsequential.
