Nope. Since it only refers to your god's self0righteousness, it is neither unchanging nor absolute.

Meaning self righteousness is a standard man creates to be 'righteous' or 'moral' apart from God's righteousness. So to judge God immoral is the logical conclusion of having a standard apart from God. The only problem is 'we' do not have the power or authority to impliment our standard beyond our social groupings. Meaning our 'morality' is the crap standard and will mean nothing on the day of our final judgement.
So, do you agree that if god was bound by human morality, he should receive the death penalty?

No one can ever be deemed 'perfectly moral' if every generation has a different understanding of what 'morality is.' For if one culture says 1, 2 ,3 is morality and another says no A, B, C is moral then how can anyone ever be considered "perfectly moral?"
Then we can establish that not even your god is perfectly moral. Further, since you have proven that morality is an ever changing standard, then you cannot claim that only your god's morality is unchanging.
And by the way, saying "fallacy of logic" is insufficient, you have to point out which fallacy is it.

So why would god have any authority?

Sin without morality? How is that even possible?

Despite what you might say to me or anyone else know in your heart of hearts that your 'morality' means nothing. That your 'morality' is like "Used menstral rags" to God. And whether you like it or not it is to this God and his standard that you will be judged, Not whatever 'morality' you decide for yourself.
Sounds about right - since god's morality is akin to "Used toilet paper" to me. And what exactly gives your god the right to judge me?
