That's... problematic on its own, but I think you missed my point, so let me rephrase: if god were to change those standards and rules of his tomorrow, if he were to come down from heaven to you personally and say that for you, killing indiscriminately is now not only moral, but actually demanded, would that make it moral, and more importantly, would you do it?
Please don't dodge the way most others we ask this question to would, and say that god wouldn't do that, or that you would assume you'd had a hallucination rather than thinking it was really god. For the purposes of this hypothetical, you know, demonstrably, that it was god, and that he did indeed give those orders. How would you answer?
Firstly, it seems like you are getting into the habit of either asking a question and then put parameters around how we can respond to them. I don't think that is fair. Secondly, you are trying to ask a hypothetical with what intention, to trap me? They did the same to Jesus. I am not going to answer this one.
