So just to clarify before continuing: If God ordered you (a human) to commit genocide, you would do so — even though you know "deep down" that it's wrong for humans to commit genocide. Is that your position?

Why do you think that is even a significant question? 🤣🤣😂 It's like you didn't understand (deliberately perhaps?) a single word of the explanation that God killing someone is in no way the same as a human, by his own volition, doing it. Can you restore life? No. Can God? Yes.
That's a yes? You would do it?
Do you believe God exists?
It’s telling that you still avoid giving a straight answer to my question. It suggests that you recognize the hazards you open yourself up to if you do. Shall we explore it together? 1/
As a Christian you’re clearly unwilling to say, “No, I would not obey commands from God to commit genocide or infanticide,” because obeying God is fundamental to Christianity. To say you’d put your own moral judgment ahead of God’s commands would be anathema, so answering “no” is a nonstarter. 2/
At the same time you’re also unwilling to admit, “Yes I'd commit those acts on God’s command.” For one, it undercuts what you earlier called the “fundamentally evil” nature of such acts. If certain acts are *fundamentally* evil for humans to perform, God wouldn't command humans to perform them. 3/
Alternatively, if God does indeed command such acts, then for people to perform them must not be “fundamentally evil”. ...Or we just bite the bullet and admit that God sometimes commands fundamentally evil acts. 4/
In short, “Yes I would commit those acts if commanded by God and doing so would be moral” seems to be the answer that any Christian would grudgingly have to give — assuming they had the courage to answer at all. All I’m saying is just be honest and own it. 🤷 5/5
If your answer is no, God does not exist, please explain to me where you anchor your moral outrage? Do you appeal to an Objective Moral Law?
Does God exist?
You are exceedingly dishonest. You refuse to even acknowledge the explanation I gave you plus you refuse to answer my qualifying question. Your entire contrived tirade implodes under the weight of its own hypocrisy and disingenuousness
