Are you a perfect being Ent? If not then yes, I think I could safely say that your morality is inferior to that of God. Apparently you disagree. You, not knowing, judge God to be imperfect.
Read what I said. God never gets off the hook because if God committed evil he would not be God. God can only be just. To establish God's guilt you need to prove where God has been unjust, which of course you cannot.
I would never kill (justly take life). My religious guidance supersedes that of the OT.
I would never murder (unjustly take life) because I know that to be morally wrong.
It's a point of logic, and not a get out.
