A citizen of the U.S.A. has to obey better than God to stay out of jail (as far as NOT killing babies). Why don't we "up the bar" for God? Is it just that we feel we can't enforce it?

The Bible calls upon the believer to trust that God has a morally sufficient reason for the evil which can be found in this world, but it does not tell us what that sufficient reason is. The believer often struggles with this situation, walking by faith rather than by sight.
The unbeliever, however, finds the situation intolerable for his pride, feelings, or rationality. The non-believer refuses to trust God. The non-believer will not believe that God has a morally sufficient reason for the evil which exists, unless the non-believer is given that reason for his own examination and assessment.
To put it bluntly, the non-believer will not trust God unless God subordinates Himself to the intellectual authority and moral evaluation of the non-believer -- unless God consents to trade places with the sinner.

Who the heck are we? Mere mortals trying to tell an all-powerful, all-knowing, ever-present God what to do? He's the Creator. And no one can behave better than God...God doesn't even "behave." God will do us like He did Lucifer (Satan) before the earth was created...Kick us right out of Heaven.

Actually, we do. The moral nature of God (and the gods) has continually improved over the centuries. Funny about that isn't it?

Don't forget...if a US citizen flooded the world and ordered Las Vegas to Rape Los Angelos...bad things would happen.

Good luck with that. I seriously doubt that the sovereign Lord of the universe is concerned about your opinion of Him.

Gods tend to be immoral because they're invented by immoral people. It's as simple as that.
