This is where you see the fruit of atheists use of mocking, exaggerated intellectual hubris and shear evil put into words.
Let me get this straight:
You think that if:
1. God is omnipotent
2. God is omniscient
3. God is holy, all good, perfect
To deny:
4. God's justice fails to conform to some sort of external expectation of how you think it should happen
Entails:
5. God, the creator of the universe who gave everything its shape and purpose, has no moral authority
You have a very deep demonic root of pride inside your spirit if you fail to see how you would still need to subject to God even if God does not process morality in the same way that you would like. God does not have to judge the world the way that you want God to in order to be just. It would be self evident that God's morality is higher than yours, because God created everything and knows everything, while you know very little.
The fact that you have made this point shows where your heart is, you are not willing to submit yourself to a being higher than you, you will not accept it, you are full of pride, you make demands and say the creator should conform to your standard. Why? Why should God conform to your standard?
I do think, which should be apparent from the rest of what I wrote, that God's actions do conform to an internal standard of purity and holiness. Actually, God gave me a revelation of this where I saw many aspects of the inner workings of God's judgements. It is definitely real.
Why do you think that you would know more than an omniscient being in a possible world in which that being existed? Don't you recognize that this is an obvious character flaw?
