Christians like to bandy around these logical fallacy terms apparently without any understanding of what they mean. There is no movement of the goalposts here.
"Might Makes Right" = Morally Bankrupt.
I have and continue to hold this equation true regardless of whether the "mighty" being setting arbitrary rules is a god or a mortal. There's no movement in those goalposts. They're thoroughly anchored to the ground.
Saying that "might makes right" is a bad moral system (or, perhaps more accurately, an amoral system) when it describes human institutions (which I assume you do but you can correct me if I'm wrong) and yet hold your god to a lower standard is a classic case of special pleading.
I keep asking Christians who think as you do this question and none of them have ever even tried to answer it:
If you won't judge the morality of the god you worship, how can you be sure you aren't unwittingly serving the devil?
