Your scenario is nonsense.
Yeah, complete nonsense:

Need I go on? Because I most certainly can. These woman all believed god spoke to them and commanded them to kill their children. Are these moral acts because god commanded them? It's a very simple question.
Oh, Kevin, don't you know that when contemporary people hear God command them to do terrible things it's because they are psychotic or otherwise afflicted, while the characters in the Bible are sane as hell and just following orders (*cough*Eichmann*cough*)? The Biblical characters' characters and motives must be above reproach to maintain the façade that their national narrative is the word of their god, while the characters and motives of modern-day believers who commit horrible acts ostensibly on behalf of that same god must be questioned and rejected for pretty much the same reason.
