Odd that an allegedly perfect being should experience moral progress himself. Even more that he is incapable of setting a better example.

Odd that a timeless being should have followers appealing to "presentism" to defend his immorality.

He could, but not without trampling on free will.

God does not experience "progressive" morality. Not sure where this is even coming from. 

Presentism is a fallacious way that humans can misinterpret actions taken in the past. It is not correctly applied to those actions themselves.

None of this actually addresses my objections, it merely restates the bunk you've already blathered.

Answer the objections, don't restate your flawed claims.
