Oh, so nobody can ever make determinations about things without knowing everything?
Okay, cool: since you don't know everything, you can't make any determinations about god, and thus none of us need to listen to another thing you say ever again. Sweet.
The part that really gets to me about this bullshit "greater plan" defense is that it's so clearly biased, because you don't want us discarding everything anyone without omnipotence says. You just want them discarding anything that disagrees with what you want to be true. That's why you conveniently left out the fact that you yourself wouldn't have the authority to label such acts morally just, under this definition.
