"And you accuse me of obfuscation?????? No, your non answer is not clear at all. The question was about the right of God to judge not your imagined self exalting rights. Why not just be honest enough to say the answer you would give is No, and be done with it."

Yes, I do accuse you of obfuscation. Here you have (once again) quoted a portion of my answer ("I have a right to judge such things, and I am telling you that rape, murder, genocide, and infanticide are not an appropriate response to a maladjusted worship of Deity. Clear enough?") while ignoring my VERY POINTED explanation and conclusion that: "If one thus presumes the existence of a God whose judgement is substandard to civilized human values, then one admits that love and mercy have no criteria to be qualified by civilized standards--or one admits that ones idea of God is beastly and unworthy of any human concept of Universal Ultimacy.

Such a God would have no right to judge a loving or merciful response to a maladjusted worship of Deity because such a God would be incapable of the concepts as you and I know and discuss them".

Now, let me slow all this down for you a little bit:

To your "Are you saying that God does not have a right to judge such things?????", my statement "...God would have NO RIGHT TO JUDGE" seems pretty straightforward to me.

If this is unclear to you, then it is prima facie evidence that you are extremely obtuse or exceedingly dishonest.

"your imagined self exalting rights"

What rights do you claim are imagined??
