You are missing the logic.  If you assert god is moral If A = A then any action god does is also moral. Because god cannot perform an immoral act.

You are correct.

If that act is moral then humans can do it and call it moral.  God killed babies, therefore killing babies must be moral. Otherwise god could not have done it.

No, one cannot kill babies because God has forbidden it and never will allow it again.

Yes, that is a double standard.  No, Christians don’t have a problem with it.

This Christian has a problem with it.

So many would die.  All except you and me, and I am not sure about you.

The God of the Bible killed babies.  Personally.

And the LORD struck the child that Uriah's wife bare unto David, and it was very sick....And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died.

Can you please provide the evidence-based case that supports this assertion?

I'm sorry. I didn't realize that for you the Bible is a load of bullcrap.

So you're saying there's no point in citing the Bible and you won't be doing it anymore?  Least of all in support of an argument?

There there is no basis for claim moral absolutes.

Theism in and of itself has no moral structure attached to it. It is merely an assertion of at least one deity. 

To assert moral absolutes one must assert a moral framework.  The moral framework we have that describes the god of the Bible includes his actively killing babies.

And asking questions to which, if he were omnipotent, he should have known the answer.

Ergo the though experiment is entirely valid to test the claim that lying to God is always wrong.

All fallacies again--your definitions, your decontextualizing, your rejection of data that are problematic (indeed that contradict your assertions), your "logic", your entire..."experiment."

After a long period of thought (ok, I just now thought of this, LOL), I decided that if God wanted me to kill a kid, arguing it's like the Omen's Damien or something, I'd shoot back with "Yeah, but that Professor guy spared Hellboy and he turned out to be a hero.  So there."  :)
