God murder is "different".

Its my understanding that they were still worshiping "the god of Israel, who had delivered them from Egypt" (its been a while since I read the story but I'm sure that's what they say when they're making the calf) and they were basically killed for making a graven image and breaking the second commandment. A commandment none of them had even heard at the time...
