What IS good, and how do we determine it?

A couple of thoughts:

What is this about God "meeting" the people he was going to teach all about his morals? That implies they were seperated from him for a long time, and at least they were not aware he existed at all before that point. Was God hiding from them? Why did he sit there hiding while they got so fucked up he had to condone rape and slavery just to get them to listen to him and not just ignore him? This is really a feeble and inattentive God.

Second, can I ask if I have this right, CL? If so, I think it may give you pause for thought:

You say some things are inherently immoral. You seem to have said same gender sex is among those things. You also said that having normal, married sex is not inherently wrong regardless of age; that there is no age of consent which make it inherently wrong.

Have I understood this correctly? If so, me marrying a 4 year old and having consensual sex with her (I explain what sex is and she agrees) is not inherently wrong; but two adult men who are married, in love, committed and with proper understanding and consent having anal sex is inherently wrong.

Please correct me if I've misinterpreted. If I haven't, what do you think of this conclusion?
