It is clear that the Almighty takes obedience seriously. That I think, is the real rub in your reaction.
The real rub is that you, and others, are so blinded by divine command theory you can no longer tell right from wrong.
And you have no authority to judge right or wrong outside of absolute truth. Without it, all you have is a social construct.
There are some cultures where incest is not taboo. Where young boys live with older men...drink their semen...because it is believed that it is the path for their maturation.
What makes your atheistic morality superior to theirs?
