How flexible is your religious morality?

Imagine god turned up and spoke to everyone in the world at once. He says that he wants to clear up what is moral and what isn't moral. My question is how much would you be willing to change your views, based on what he said?

For example, if he said rape was now moral, would you go along with that and have no problem with it in the future, or would you still think it is immoral? I'm hoping people would generally still think it was immoral. If you would be prepared to switch some things from immoral to moral, and vice versa, please give a few examples of those. Such as, "I think masturbation is immoral, but if god said it was moral, I'd be happy to change my mind about it."

Many thanks!

But, ... but... but He wouldn't do that. He is good. Undecided

yes, who's a good god?
who's a good god?
You are! Worship
