Because, if that is morally unacceptable, then having God allows you to beat the crap out of your wife when she does something he doesn't like. "Your looks annoy me today" *Punch in nose and break it* "next time, don't be so ugly."... sounds pretty bad to me either way. burning a steak is a common mistake - it happens, even at 5 star restaraunts. Pro chefs mess up food, yet, you get beat when you do it. You haven't gone to school for it - or, maybe you have, although it is highly unlikely. They have spent years learning how to cook properly, and they still make mistakes. no human is perfect. We are perfectly flawed, and that makes us perfect.

Where do I begin?
O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.
God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
