No it is not. You are either right or wrong by the only standards that matter: God’s.

Grudgingly, I have to respond to this. Assuming that God has established absolute moral standards, how are we to determine what they are?

If, as is the case, all we have to go on are books written by men about God, then surely it's safer to assume that their assumptions about God's moral standards are just that: human conjecture, and therefore fallible.

To apply infallibility to a human idea is not only foolish, it's dangerous. We all have an incomplete idea of what God's moral standards are.

I find it extremely insulting to God that we assume we would even be able to wrap our puny minds around his omnipotent reasoning.
