3. Yahweh is considered all-loving and therefore defined as having the greatest possible moral virtue at all times.
4. Greater moral virtue is better than lesser moral virtue because it regulates other attributes for more positive/less negative outcomes.
5. More positive outcomes is better than more negative outcomes.
6. Therefore Yahweh is greater than a god that kills babies.
Then god isn't the greatest possible being at all. He's an examplar of a limited series of limited sets. Great at what he does, shit at what he doesn't. I'll note again that he doesn't actually appear to be all that great at what he does, lol.
How do you contextualize number 2 and number 5 in the case of egypts firstborn? Seems like a lack of love might have lead to a bunch of negative outcomes that night. Failing at ones own self serving standard is the queen bee of own goaling. OFC, I'd suggest that everything above are your standards..not the standards of what does or doesn't constitute the greatest of great fairies. Great fairy might not act in accordance with what you need or want it to be...but it's probably doing exactly what it needs or wants to do.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
