Was god lying there? Dis man's knowledge of morality not equal god's morality as stated in the verse? Did you delete it from your bible?
While you spin your apologetic's encoder ring on that one, answer too why consistency with self portion of analyzing god's purported word is something to be tossed away as needed?
Is anyone else sort of getting the feeling that Drich's only argument is the bog standard "god moves in mysterious ways" with an added dose of smugness? Why is it he seems to be the only one to have any kind of line to god? Pretty interesting...
Show me. where have I ever once defaulted to "God works in mysterious ways?" I have gone through great pains to explain what you believe to be the great mystery of God.
This is the second or third time you have defaulted to a standard Christian arguement when refering to me. I ask the before you try and make another foolish sweeping generalization, that you do you due dilligence and find some quotes to back up what you have said.

If god did give us morals to judge right and wrong and they were defective, we couldn't be held responsible when they failed, nor could we be held responsible in no longer following a defective indicator. Our morals must be perfect if they are god given. If they are not god given, then the bible lies and we are held to the brink of hell's eternal torture on the morals that we have to make up ourselves.
It's just a big fuzzy role of nonsense.
Or perhaps it is you who does not acknoweledge the ever declining nature of morality. Morality is on a downward sliding scale, and what passes as 'morality' today would not be considered 'moral' just a generation ago. The reason we even bother to move the bar lower and justify our 'new' morality is because we see and acknoweledge the difference between Good and evil, so we justify what we do by changing our standard of righteousness. This Change is identified by Christ as Self Righteousness. (If you want some scripture Please Ask and I can give you what Christ had to say about that.)

your confused. Or intentionally trying to confuse the subject. God did not give us the power to decide for our selves what is right and wrong in Genesis 3. He simply said we will know the difference between right and wrong "like gods" (Little g and plural) Meaning to include Angels and Demons. Demons also know the difference between right and wrong as per gen 3 but have no say in the identification or classification between right and wrong. Neither do any of us.
