This clip shows how man has defined morality. I generally agree with it as it closely resembles the morality shown in all the holy books. I see them as closely resembling the golden rule.

This clip show how what I see as a good representation of moral men judging God’s morality. I agree with their verdict and judge God to be immoral.

From the above and from all that we know of God as depicted in the Bible, one can only conclude that God is immoral.
All those with intelligence who can discern moral actions from immoral actions will agree.
Moral actions for this exercise will be those issues where God interacts with humans.
If you do not agree that God is immoral from what you have heard above, then give your reason and I will show that God chose the immoral path in whatever action you choose to use as your example of his moral action. That or I will show that any of his altruistic acts are self-serving.

I agree with you that it would appear that God is extremely evil and immoral. I thought a great deal about it and recently, I came up with an idea that seems to work and my vicar thinks it's a viable Christian option. This is how I see it - God doesn't exist. The Bible was written by an ancient marauding tribe that was bloodthirsty and of course they would write the Bible this way. So how then do we affirm our Creeds. Simple, we still use the same vehicle of our religious culture but I take God to be a mere metaphor for goodness, truth and justice. So when I say I'll let God control my life, it's another way of saying I'll let truth control my life. My vicar says this is a perfectly acceptable system and we have a few bishops and archbishops who have the same idea so it's sad but it looks like I didn't originate this idea of God as a metaphor.
