Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

Police, judges and soldiers have to abide by rules, and very strict ones at that (at least in a free country). And we, as citizens, can judge judges, soldiers and police according to their moral behavior.

I'd say that judges, police and soldiers are even more accountable for their moral behavior than common citizens. More power means more responsibilities, after all.

The all-powerful god, on the other hand, doesn't seem to show much concern for his responsibilities. We have a word for a leader that doesn't feel bound by moral laws. That word is tyrant.

I also think that there should be actions that aren't morally acceptable to any possible being. Genocide is one of them.
