Oddly enough, even though I'm a moral relativist, I haven't gotten around to killing one single person ... unlike so many theists who assert moral absolutism.
The god you worship is evil by any yardstick. He orders genocide, and indeed commits it himself. He practices collective punishment. He holds his own creation hostage to his whim, threatening us with eternal punishment if we practice the free will you allege he gave us. Those are the actions of a sociopath.
And you worship him.
So is it your belief that your life as a moral whateverist, would be possible if not for all the genocide and this/your country was built on?
I'm not a "moral whateverist".
As for the possibilities of my life, you're courting Hume's is/ought fallacy. I recommend that you look it up before you make a fool of yourself, again, in front of a crowd whose opinion you obviously covet.
Education, Grasshopper: it's cheaper to get than it is to feign.
