To a Christian (especially the Waldorfs and fraudos of the world) there is no such thing as a moral act or an immoral act; whether an action is good or evil depends entirely upon who is doing it.
You contradict yourself in this post.
Firstly. Secular morality is exactly as you say, and you and I are both subject to it. I will fight against it where I see a higher moral standard. (assuming your fight against it wouldn't be confronting the zeitgeist, but progressing it along with the rest of us).
Secondly, we're making no exceptions for God. God hasn't been shown as a murderer. Genocide (death on a large scale) is no more exempt from justice than killing one person. Your claims are unfounded.

Atheists here are dodging the responsibility for their claim that God is evil as revealed in the bible. Not one has stepped up to the mark, because the position is indefensible.
Ryan was afraid to put the real question as the threads title, and instead chose a non descript and unsearchable generic one.
Much arm waving insisting that the people making no claims should bear the burden of proof is going on. But no one is honest enough to say that such a claim is nonsense, and withdraw it.
