That's a lot of syllables for a dodge. "Cool story, bro" is much more compact and efficient.

Or, you could actually address my point, which is that setting your god's actions in a different moral context than the actions of humans is quite plainly practicing moral subjectivity -- the morality of an action (in this case, killing) being dependent on who is doing it.

Over to you. Hopefully you'll have a higher syllable-to-content ratio.

Ok.... What you are describing still doesn't make it subjective ontologically. This could be a problem with equating objective with absolute, or subjective with relative. For instance if we are talking about hair color of a particular person. The color of the hair is objective. It does not change even if you and I disagree on what that color is. It is also relative, as it depends on the person, that we are talking about.
