Until you undersatnd that IF God IS, then whatever He does is righteous. Who can challenge Him ?
​
You need to define "morality" and the source of the definition.

Then why did God purposefully create a written source (the Bible) that portrays Himself as immoral ?
​
Could it be you/anyone are interpreting contrary to the intent of the source ?
​
Of course, this reply, and yours, is/was offered under the assumption that the Bible contains/is the word of God.
​
Once again, IF God IS, then whatever He does is righteous, the only issue is the interpretation/understanding of why, and theologians exist for that specific reason.

SUPPOSE God IS, AND unfair; now how much sense does it make to oppose Him ?
​
If God exists how can He be immoral ?
​
This is why I continually proclaim : IF God IS then whatever He does is righteous.
​
Is it not better to get on His side even if you disagree ?
​
This is rhetorical; of course it is, but if God gave you a 10 second glimpse of hell you/I would never doubt Him ever again and we would change the world in ten years.
