"BTW in my analogy is likened to the guilty parties and God is likened to the Judge"

You brought up Olson in association with my argument that God had murdered 42 innocent children as recorded in your book of fables and tribal legends. The only apt comparison is that which compares the nature of their murders. Murderers are not their own judges. In discussing the feasibility of your God through ethical analysis it is of course appropriate that we judge the actions attributed to Him. Butchering innocent children is not considered either brave, mature, civilized, compassionate--or anything other than depraved and evil. In this regard, the story about your God compares unfavourably with the true story of the psychotic and bestial serial killer known as Olson. Nothing for you to be too proud of. Did you value Him for trying to kill Moses at the Inn, too? Or when He regretted the mistake He had made when He invented humans and chose to murder most of them violently rather than just erase them as He could have.

Why don't you write Olson and get his opinion on your God seeing as you brought him up. Do you support any of his values? Or do you simply find it impossible to think any of this stuff through?
