Would if an omniscient God knew more than you?
What do you think would happen if an omniscient being, who created the universe, and knows the end from the beginning, sat down with you to have a conversation?
Would if he told you what perfect living actually looked like? Would he blow your mind? Or would you just sit there nodding your head saying "yes, that makes sense to me."?
Imagine you are a parent, let's say you're 100 years old, you've travelled the world, attended many lectures on philosophy and read many books on the subject. Now you have to sit down with a 10 year old and explain everything you know. Would the little boy just nod his head and think, "yeah, this all makes sense to me intuitively."? Or would there be something you could call to his attention that would be shocking?

Blow my mind? Sure. But I would be much more interested in the science a deity could convey as opposed to the 'perfect life'. At the least, I could verify the science is correct by testing. A perfect life isn't even something that I think can exist, let alone be the same for everyone, or dependent on the viewpoint of any entity, even a deity.
But morality isn't like science. it is a matter of opinion and not of fact. So yes, I *can* judge the morality of a deity. Furthermore, I think that doing so is an ethical obligation if you actually believe a deity exists.
A 10 year old would likely listen, maybe ask questions, and maybe eventually come to different conclusions than I did. Those things that are not understood could be relegated to a later date to consider.
