How, exactly, is human sacrifice moral? Bible god demands it and is given it. It is stated right there in the magic book. Do you think human sacrifice is moral? Because the god of the magic book demands it? And actually receives it? Would you kill your kid just because "god" said so?
I think these two teachings have created the vacuum necessary for the naturalist view among others.
The latter I have not had to contend with because it is clearly not taught in scripture. The former I have had to grapple with on an ongoing basis. Particularly hard to understand for me has been the story of Job.
Are you debating his character now? What do you care with moral character of a God you do not believe in?
