Is it moral for God to punish us?
Is it moral for an all-knowing and all-powerful God to set in motion a history that he designs and then condemns others for?
So, you really want to have a serious discussion about the morals of an imaginary being?
You must really be bored.
A much more important topic would be, "Is Santa Claus really a jolly guy, or is he hiding a deep sadness?

We would think a painter quite insane if he did such a thing so why do you not think God insane for punishing us for being exactly what he created us to be?
Why do you continue to go on and on about whether an imaginary entity is insane, or bad, or immoral? What possible difference does it make? It is exactly like wondering if Lex Luthar is insane; who cares, he is imaginary.
