Look at all the twisted responses to the idea that God will forgive any and all offenses so long as there is genuine contrition. They call His mercy injustice. They call His generous loving-kindness immoral. These are not simple acts of disbelief or a benign ignorance. These responses are acts of will.
What you said "Exactly right" to is indeed very immoral.
The immoral part is not that God forgives murderers. It's WHY he forgives them. He forgives them for giving themselves to Jesus and he won't forgive atheists for not giving themselves to Jesus even if they're perfectly good people.
God doesn't care about goodness... he cares if you accept him.
I think it's rather hilarious that theists often think that an objective morality is impossible WITHOUT God... when surely if something is objectively good in and of itself then you don't need God?
If someone is truly good they don't need God to be good. And God being merely defined as good doesn't make God good if he approves of extremely immoral ideas.
