Just a couple of comments:

Be very careful Dave! In virtually the same breath you mention that
one should not judge, then proceed to accuse Tim of blastphemy and
of being a hypocrite. "Judge not, lest ye be judged."

You place your arguments in a perspective which is impossible to argue:

	1. You believe the God is the absolute standard of good.
	2. This makes God infallible in your eyes.
	3. Therefore, ANY argument is begging the question.

I don't know if I will ever understand the necessity of an
all-knowing, all-loving, all-powerful god to create fallible beings
and then condemn them for their fallibility. I don't know if I will
ever understand the fear, ignorance, vengance, and violence
perpetrated in the name of religion and justified by being the
servant of an infallable, absolute moral standard.
