(as you have so graciously pointed out.)
On the contrary, righteousness is morality. Being righteous means adhering to moral principles. Which is why, even if your god describes himself as righteous, his actions, since they speak otherwise, allow us to judge him as decidedly unrighteous and immoral.

That's a conflict which scripture simply can't address. Instead, special pleading is the only way that apologists have tried to resolve this problem.
What's your response to this argument?
There is no response to this argument - only an evasion. As Drich would demonstrate shortly.
