Rather than being to determine 'good or bad' on a larger long term scale.
So god could do literally anything, boil a baby and force feed it to its parents and because its god doing that it would be just Dandy coz god, is by default, good. And don't say that sort of thing would not happen because, lets face it, god has "form" for doing what we see as evil shit. turning a woman into a condiment for looking at, what was surely quite a spectacle, being one of the stranger ones. No this idea of yours is abhorrent and shows the paucity of what passes for thinking in some theists.
Just because you or others like you want to assume the worse so you can live a little better than the worst somehow figure yourselves better than God. The problem with your 'what if...' God's law is complete. Has been for 2000 years. so then Where is the command to make parents boil and eat babies??? their isn't such a command so I can say with 100% assuredness that such a command will never come up.
