Yep.

No clue what that means.
Quote:And yes, his actions are still immoral by the standards we hold. Isn't it immoral to torture your creations? Just because you created something doesn't give you the right to hurt it according to our modern values.
Not sure which scenario you're referring to at this point so I'll respond to both:
If no free will, then no, it's no more immoral than throwing a piece of wood in the fire.
If free will, then god isn't forcing people to fight for any reason, and we're culpable for our own actions..
I made my argument falsifiable, not my fault you don't see what I'm getting at.
And yes, it's still immoral by our standards but apparently not by yours.
