Should I have let the person die instead in order to be morally good?
In that case, not to lie would be going against God, as would calling his rules arbitrary.
Please tell me you were being sarcastic? Divine Command Theory offers objective morals and here you are telling me that in this particular scenario "thou shall not give false testimony" can be bypassed?

Welcome to secular morality bud.
oh and p.s, they are arbitrary rules. Your god said to stone people and it doesn't matter if I think that's right or wrong, the fact is that it is true that they have to be stoned... that is the morally "right" thing to do, even if my mind feels like it isn't. Therefore, it seems like these moral laws have been chosen arbitrarily without any real reason for making something "right" and something "wrong" so much so that even the words "right/wrong" lose all moral meaning. It is simply correct to stone someone. If you ask me why, I'd have to say "I don't know.. coz gawd said so?"
