That would be a non sequitur Ryan.
Secular/ human morality works that way. If the common opinion is that some people are sub human, they are game to be slaves and subject to experimentation. That went for humans 50 years ago, and goes for animals today.
Divine morality never goes that way. Abominations against nature are a human preserve. Nature doesn't discriminate. God mirrors nature. (the other way around).
Stalin and Hitler we're criminal because their intentions were immoral. You have no evidence that Gods' intentions were immoral. Just the bare fact that mass killing occurred. To hang your accusation of guilt you're applying an inapplicable condition: that God didn't have knowledge enough to judge lots of people at once.
