According to what other ultimate standard would it not be good?
Quote: But maybe my definition of a good character is quite different than your god's definition. Let's see how Webster defines good. They show many definitions with these two seeming to be most applicable to a person's character as a "good character" like you mentioned:
God killed those people long before Noah Webster was ever born, so you are going to have to use a different standard for good if you are going to try and apply it to God.
Quote: Somehow, killing millions is virtuous, right, kind, benevolent, and commendable?
…if it was to work out all things for the benefit and redemption of His people, then sure it was. How do you know that being virtuous and kind are actually good qualities though? Simply because Noah Webster said so?
