Hey, morning, welcome back. We were just discussing the OT with Randy, a fellow catholic. He's busy looking for ways to make douchegod of the OT "right", he seems to feel that allegory isn't a proper explanation for those stories. God really commanded the israelites to "such and such" and so there must be a reason that all of this is right, after all, god did it.
What say you, is this how we should determine morality? If god engineered the death of the firstborn, must that be right? If god called for the genocide of a competing tribe, is there any requirement that we accept this as a just act?
