That is the problem with saying we know what is evil and what is good from our parents or the Government/Laws. God is not a man. He is a maximumly great being because He possess all quality that are better to have to their fullest possibility. He also does not possess any negative qualities. So unlike people what He says is trustworthy and true and will never change.
We can all agree that everyone does wrong to some degree. This idea didn't come from our parents because I have three little ones at home and when they have something taken from them the express their wronged feelings. I never had to teach them that. So it isn't taught or legislated it is build in us.

Objectively if the mouse is eaten by a cat it is bad for the mouse's survival and good for the cat the cat's survival.  Yet there is no out cry for the right of a mouse against a cat because it is not evil. There is however an out cry for those people who are being murdered and oppressed by other people.

This argument is an old one I will agree

I'll ask again, since you seem to have missed it.  You say that one cannot cherry pick the bible.  Are you okay with the rules about whom you can buy as slaves and how you can treat them?

Good point FAF.  I will bounce off your argument and add to it.

In the Old Testament the Judeo-Christian god (Jesus, who as the Trinity dogma indicates he is his own father, thus the same) is stated to be the same yesterday, today, and forever more (Hebrews 13:8).  So Christians today worship a being who commanded the Israelites when they went into the land of Canaan to commit genocide (1 Samuel 15: 2-32; Deutoronomy 2:34; 3:6; 20:16-18) and steal their land. 

My question to you Rakeisha, is that if your god came to you in a vision and asked you to kill your kids (like he asked Abraham to do) or to shootup a location full of "sinners", would you do it?  Remember, you have to obey god, it is a Biblical imperative (Job 36:11; John 14:15; Luke 6:46; Ephesians 6: 5-9, etc., etc., etc.).
