Double standards aren't necessarily immoral. We apply them, properly, all the time.

I would have to have an example of this before judging if you are correct or not.

Show what you mean.

Standard operating procedure. Go to a grocery store. Check out the meat section. Check out the pest control section. We routinely kill other beings merely because they're tasty or a minor annoyance. We conveniently draw the "immoral" line at ourselves, and some animals like dogs and cats that amuse us.

There are things that we do to each other that are normally considered evil, but we give ourselves exemption when we do those things to beings which we consider lesser than ourselves. Since we're lesser beings than God, it's not "special" to say that God can therefore do as he wants with us.

God can cure and make the lesser equal if he chooses to do so. We cannot.

The high moral ground is to make equal while the low moral ground is to kill.
