Then your god is described as an immoral being, and a foundational aspect of -your churches- moral condemnation of the acts of others in the here and now is -predicate- on the morality of an an immoral act, or an immoral description...of your god.
That is, of course, when it's not busy being predicate on transparently shitty non-reason like "natural law".
Not an opinion....a fact.
-and, if it's not okay to be put to death for any reason....as you've just stated....then why has your "good" god condemned every human being to death by means of a generational curse, or by means of the flawed design of man as expressed in his fallen nature? Or is that allegory too? If it is allegory, and if there is no reason that it';s okay for a person to be put to death...then what was the purpose, and what is the moral status, of christs crucifixion as vicarious redemption? Relief from a punishment that should have never been inflicted in the first place...by way of scapegoating?
Some "good" god you've got yourself. Some morality.
