1. Is it moral to punish people for the actions of others?

2. Does the god described in the bible punish people for the actions of others?

I never said I understood God or other people. So far I received loads of replies claiming to understand what type of person I am. And loads of replies full of haughty self confidence and clever comments. Only a couple of people have actually spoken on the issue.

He acts in ways we're told it's immoral for humans to act. How are we "made in his image" if we shouldn't act like he does?

That's the catch 22. Morality does by default not apply to a god!

No, that's pretty clear. An act is immoral, and you admit your god participates in that act.

You mean believers in a specific god are willing to overlook any immoral acts allegedly committed by it.
