Is the god of the bible a moral being? [Spirituality & Religion]

Syllogism time:

Killing a baby is always immoral no matter who does it or for what reason.
God killed many, many babies in the flood.
Therefore god is immoral.

Matthew 10:34-38 New International Version (NIV)
[quote]
34 "Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword."

35 For I have come to turn

“‘a man against his father,
a daughter against her mother,
a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law—
36
a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’

37 “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. 38 Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me.

Look closely upon those words. Those are not a perfect being's wisdom. It is the Foolishness of Men.

Why do we let men exuding in their false modesty, exuding in their foolishness, influence our relationships? Tell me you Idolaters of Men who wrote these books you never deeply questioned, tell me why do you let mere mortal men exuding in their foolishness set a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law? You hear about this in your churches, in visiting your Christian friends, in Christians gossiping about their non-Christian family members and perhaps you've experienced it first hand.

If there is love between you and another, why let these foolishness set you against one another? With all things being equal, anyone who sets you against your father is not worthy of you; anyone who sets you against your son is not worthy of you; anyone who sets you against your mother is not worthy of you; anyone who sets you against your daughter is not worthy of you. Anyone who sets You against your Love one is not worthy of You.

Anyone who proclaims to be God, or the voice of God sets about to fool you and is not worthy of you. Anyone who sets you against your better judgement is not worthy of you.

As I've said before, you've made Idols of these men, and that you've Idolozed them so much is a testament of your unquestioning them, to the point that you've ruined relations, peace and love for them.

@JesusChrist Oh How I love these words. These words have made me sane. These words are like water to my soul. When I was hated by my Mom because I wanted to follow Jesus and I had to make a choice to leave Jesus or be hated, I chose Jesus. God who inspired these words reassured me that He loves me even if my family, and the world can't understand me. I go overboard to love my Mom, but she hates me because I am a Christian. These are words from God to Godly people to make it through each day, alone, hated, and rejected by men. This is why we love the Bible, because God explains why we are persecuted. Jesus said they killed me so they will hate you too.
