[So, God is a "Do as I say, not as I do" type of guy, in your view.]
If He so chooses.
God is not beholden to our rules and our ideas of what we think is right or wrong; and it's God's prerogative to eliminate a group of people (like the Midianites, or Sodom and Gomorrah) if it suits His purpose.

Equally, it is my perogative to point out that your God is imaginary; all in your head, a fiction.
"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."*The God Delusion .

Coffee,
So tell me, Loins-in-oil, if I claim to be god, wouldn't you have to have faith that I was telling the truth and do my every whim? Go sacrifice your child. I'll be waiting.
Sure it's ok, as long as it's not your people being fucked over. I'm constantly amazed by the way some Christians can condone horrible actions as approved by God, or, better yet, enacted by God, as long as there's no chance of them being affected.
Yeah, I mean, can I kill my PhD director?, I think that God is commanding me, he´s an asshole.
"God is not beholden to our roles and our ideas of what we think is right or wrong".
So God could be an utter bastard, who sleeps around, rapes his children, and beats on innocent people, and you'd still love him?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
