God does not follow the first principle of morality. Why not?

'Morality' is an ever changing standard from person to person, culture to culture and generation to generation. So the the question should be 'who's morality' are you suggesting God follow and why? Why does this 'morality' trump all others? What authority is your answer based on?

---

Morality has indeed changed over the years, all the more reason to reject archaic biblical values. God doesn't follow anyone's morality. In his eyes, his will is 'morality', regardless of if it is actually moral. The authority upon which this answer is based is our own evolutionarily inbuilt notion of morality.

If you had an oppertunity to Kill Adolph Hilter, Joesph Stallin, Hirohito/Emperor Shōwa, Mao Zedong, Kim Il sung as a Child knowing full well what they would accomplish as an adult, would you be obligated to kill them?

---

Funny thing, god didn't feel any obligation to kill them. I think it's funny when people ask "well what if he grew up to be another Hitler" ignoring the fact that Hitler grew up. Do you honestly expect me to believe that every baby that dies because of god would be worse than Hitler?

---

Or would you wait till after these three men collibrated and kill 1/3 of the worlds population at the time they lived? would you sacerfice the lives of hundreds of millions for the sake of the philosphy you live by, or would you do something about it? what would your responsiablity be if you absolutly 100% knew that their was an entire race of people bent on the destruction of the world?

---

What race? You mean the white supremecist catholics, like Hitler?

---

God is in a position to Judge our actions before we commit them. In the case of those races/clans He decided to wipe out He did so in order to perserve His chosen people. He knew that even if the imediate generation posed no threat, that one generation down the pike would. So in order to perserve His people and subsequently inorder to perserve the linage of Christ and salvation for the rest of the world some people (even children) had to die.

Yet those of the Abrahamic cults, Christians, Muslims and other believers, do not reject this cowardly and immoral God.

Why not?

Because we know not "all people are basically good." That all are intrinsically sinful and whether we die as a Child or as an old man we all still owe a death to the life we have been given, and it is up to our sovern God to tell us when our life is forefit.

...god is not basically good either. He judges us because he can, not for any other reason, like moral supremacy.
