So your god is ok with people burning other people alive as long as Jews are doing the burning?
Why? The the act (any act) it self has no intrinsic 'moral' value in God's economy. What makes an act righteous or evil is not the act itself but how that act correlates to God's expressed will. In other words God's expressed will is what makes something sinful, not how we "feel" about something.
For OT Jews they were to burn witches. For New Testament Christians they are to follow Peter's example in acts 8:

This is why I can identify the actions of burning anyone as a non Christian act.
Wow... that's fucked up. You worship a god who you think at one time ordered people to be burned to death for being witches... even though there's no such thing as witches.
Of course that point's moot when you take into account that there's no such thing as the Christian god either.
