False. We understand our own concept and definition of morality, and apply it to any given deity...

If someone supposedly gets their morality from "God", then they damn well better understand it.
But obviously, no one does except for the nonbelievers. (Seeing as how Christian folks don't seem to have a problem with "god's" genocidal tendencies)
(Although, I do think the Westboro church has a pretty good grasp on god's morality. Gotta give them that. At least they're intellectually honest)

Anyone who says they understand Gods morality is delusional.... one can only understand ones own morality based on what one is taught and what one is taught, if it comes from the bible, does not come from God but from the multiple authors of the bible who had their own agendas when they added to the accumulative mythology of the bible.

Of course, for example: abstain from fornication, that surely would cut the STDs and AIDS at the knees, abstain from adultery also cuts diseases from spreading and guess what, IT DOESN'T BREAK THE FAMILY APART, no bitter custody battles, kids get to grow up with both mommy and daddy, no divorce courts, child support court, family court, you are observing the chain link and time and money here right?. Just to name a few from only 2 acts of immorality.

A baiting question if ever I saw one.... :)
Do I understand it? To the best of my ability as given by God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit...in full? No
I have seen God through the eyes of a little girl for her Father and God and as an observer of a Father and a God, I have seen the Jews from the eyes of an observer and through the eyes of the Father and as much as God allowed me to observe pertaining to a "GOD", ....
God allowed me to disect just about everything there was in the OT....and ask every question I could think of of Him to answer, lol
My heart, mind, soul, and Spirit know as much as they can or are allowed to know...
God has honored me by allowing this to be so....
Am I more special compared to you or anyone else? No
But God loves us whom are poor, small, foolish, and weak in the eyes of man :)

No, I do not...and I really do not want to...it just seems like it would be disturbing...the kind of thing that turns you into a slobbering lunatic, upon hearing the horrific truth of what God intends to do...and, upon becoming completely warped and insane, you would become like unto God! And then come the killing sprees...

In some cases God tell us HIs rationale, in others He leaves it for us to rationalize and in still other cases, there is no human understanding.
Does a lack of understanding invalidate God's moral code? Absolutely not!

Yes. I believe that I understand it very well.
God is not moral. He has committed and endorsed acts of cruelty and violence that would turn any decent person's stomach.

I understand nothing. To believe I understand something, especially about God, is to close my mind to other possibilities or seeing the bigger picture.
