To judge this moral or immoral means nothing aside from taking a survey of the popular moral standard of your peers on this board. Morality is not the standard of righteousness you believe it to be.
To make this assertion based from the bible, one would have to ignore the rest of the bible that calls for the death/blood sacerfice of Christ.
I thought God was supposed to be the absoloute standard of morality yet he is in violation of his own commandments. Either he isn't as moral as he claims in which case why follow him or the commandments aren't a real standard of his morality in which case hes a liar and we can't trust his word for anything... in which case why follow him.
No God is the Standard of Absolute righteousness.
Morality is man's own personal version of righteousness, that allows for the sin he is willing to accept into that standard.
(See my thread on definations)
So that makes any version of morality a self righteous attempt at The Righteous standard of God. That is why it can be said that morality is whatever you want it to be. Look at Oscar Shiendler, was he not considered a moral man for saving as many jews from the death camps as he did? Yet he was still a war profiteer and supporter/member of the Nazi party. Who exploited the slave labor of the jews to supply the germany with everything from pots and pans to 88mm shells. Yet we considered him to be a moral man (and rightfully so.) However that does not make him a Truly Righteous one.
Morality is Man's standard, Absolute Righteousness belongs to God.
