Didn't god direct men to murder men, kinda murder by proxy?
According to the fairy tale humans know the difference between good and evil.  It's acknowledged that murder is an evil act.  So as it says in the fairy tale, man should be smart enough to tell Yahweh to go screw himself whenever he says that he wants a person to do something evil.  

It's like watching a gangster movie where the brainless thugs beat up and kill people without a second thought just because the crime boss tells them to do it.  They themselves have nothing against their victims and all they will get out of it is a few bucks.  Yet they are doing the most horrible acts because they are too stupid to separate themselves from the situation.
