You seem to be the hypocrite here. God did not make up arbitrary rules, He gave us a moral code to live by because it is good for us, whether we like it or not. That law has not changed other than to grow in number because man could not obey the ones that were originally laid out for us.
Oh, let's discuss 'scriptural' morality. I'm particularly bothered by a specific display of your god's morality. In scripture, of course, your god is reported to have stopped the rotation of the Earth to allow Joshua his great victory. You must now defend your god's morality. Do you care to describe to the unlearned what your god demanded Joshua's army to do to any human being that wasn't a virgin adolescent? Will you care to tell us what your god said was the fate of the adolesccent virgins?
This is just one example of your 'god-given' morality, yet you yell PERSECUTION when a humble servant of humanity suggests a more humane aproach.
