Killing is not immoral. The Bible says that you should not murder.

God didn't have sex. He is a spirit. He simply willed she become
pregnant.

> If God exterminates all life, it is always moral.
Sin has consequences. The Bible declares, "For the wages of sin is
death."

He never changed the rules. Jesus became the last and ultimate sacrifice
for man. Thus burnt offerings were no longer needed.

> If God lies, it is always moral.
God can't lie. It is against his nature of goodness and truth.

If Jesus is a myth to you, then why do you even care? Again, Jesus was
sent to sacrifice himself but he arose from the grave after three days.

We have the choice. If we never hear the name of God, he is evident from
our creation, conscience, circumstances and the Canon (Bible).

HE CANNOT MAKE ANYONE SIN. Nor will he tempt us.

You are so far off. You can't understand the rules because you do not
know the players.
