Your argument is something of a red herring, Mike.
I believe the essential point is found here, in the Seventh Lecture on Faith: Quote:

No, you don't. Nor do you particularly want to.

Just because you don't like the answer doesn't mean it's a non-answer. And quit pretending like this has never been discussed. Few dead horses have been more beaten.

Must be one of those things only the enlightened can understand.
People have been killing their children in the name of God for eons. Human sacrifice has been part of human history, probably forever. Is it ever God's will? And if so, what does that say about God? |

I think many of you find it very uncomfortable because you have to balance your devotion to God with your devotion to good. Being asked to do evil for God is very uncomfortable. And something that intellectually dishonest people are unwilling to discuss in an honest way. |

Which is the reason I am not particularly inclined to discuss it here. You seem much less anxious to honestly discuss it than to pick a fight.
