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.

Thoughts?

This whole post is not moral!
@Carazaa

Is that a claim you can logically defend or is it an emotional reaction to a disagreeable position?

@Carazaa moral behaviour is that which maximises the well-being of animals that are capable of otherwise suffering.

Religion is neither the source nor the arbiter of such morality.

@newjaninev2 True religion is "[b]Love God and man"[/b] This is all the law that we will all be held accountable for when we face God one day. And trust you me, we all will!

@Carazaa Is that the god that killed all the babies? I don't feel like I will be accountable to him, as I checked, and I have killed 0 babies.

@Pherick You can think that you haven't sinned at all, but that's not what God says. I guess Jesus died for everyone but Pherick!

@Carazaa I am sure if god were real he would have much better things to do than watch me sin.

It's not moral for asking questions? Some places in your mind are forbidden to shed light on? What are you hiding?

Is this how your mind reacts when you approach such topics? It's not moral! Then what do you do? You treat those who dare to ask such questions the way your mind has reacted to you?

Well I'm glad some people are brave enough to go where you forbid yourself to go.
