Dave G.
It would be much more difficult for skeptics to argue against the
morals of God, if Christians would just admit we are nothing more than
God's little playthings. Whatever pleases God, is moral. God may
torture, love, exterminate, defile, save or doom whomever he pleases
with no requirement to answer for his crimes.

If God kills, it is always moral.

If God has sex with an unmarried virgin, it is always moral.

If God exterminates all life, it is always moral.

If God changes the rules for salvation, it is always moral.

If God lies, it is always moral.

If God created the Jesus myth, just to watch the death and carnage it
would cause and laugh his ass off over the result, it would be moral.

If God creates a soul for the simple purpose of watching it suffer for
etermity, it is moral.

If God makes someone sin, then holds them responsible for the sin, it
is always moral.

Do I understand the rules as they apply to God or am I missing
something?

Hello Dave,
IMHO you have understood it perfectly. I believe what you stated above
is known as the Divine Command theory. It involves circular reasoning
ans special pleading, but what are a few logical fallacies among
friends, right? ;o)
