It is good because God did it, or does God do it because it is good?
​
Was killing all those people in sodom and Gomorria good? Was the alleged event of the flood good?
​
If so, why was it good?
​
Is insisting on a human sacrifice good?? If so,why?

Are you forgetting the story of abraham?? That story , god tested, but rather than go through with it, provided a Ram for sacrifice. According to the interpretation of this story, it was God's promise NEVER to require a human sacrifice.
​
Remember too, the modern example of David Berkowitz. He though God was talking to him via Sam (his neighbor's dog).
