I think 'moral' describes the Xtian God accurately. 'Just' I think also, together with loving. Those form the core attributes.
God couldn't be just if God didn't enforce justice. 'Vengeful' suggests more that just desert to me. I assume this is your meaning too, and I see no reason to ascribe that attribute to God. I see no justification to make that leap from what you've said.
So 'hurt' has to exist for justice (/morality) to be true. /Hurt isn't morally wrong.
The attraction of God is towards morality. Morality is fully realised in God.

You seem to be consistently missing the point that God -is- the moral agent in what Inigo is saying
