To which I say, God acts in such a way that would be acceptable to almost no mere human's moral code, no matter the origin of it. A perfect God should never behave in a way we would find morally reprehensible in a person. Such a being is unworthy of telling the likes of me, or anybody else, what is and is not 'moral'. Such a being is less perfect than I am.

Good point. If he created us, then why did he give us different moral tendancies? Is this another 'test of faith'?
