Excellent, so would I. Though I might still kill the sons of bitches..lol (no nudging from a god required). As to your question, depends on the good ordered, gods good or my good? Gods good includes killing those sons of bitches, remember? So, I'd say it's a case by case thing, eh?
You don't seem to have fallen painfully short in this thought experiment. You've indicated your willingness to stand up to god (given your beliefs, not easy) if that god ordered atrocity. I'd say you sailed -way- over the bar, personally. As it so happens, your self assessment lines up with another biblical story...concerning those who failed to carry out gods murderous commands thoroughly. They got the stick. So good luck to you, should you ever find yourself in their position.
