morals come from god according to theists.
So the morals I have are the same as gods morals
It seems morally wrong for mockery to be punished by bear mauling
Therefore either morals dont come from god, my morals dont come from god, or god is immoral.
I can judge god by the same yardstick I judge anyone or anything. Add in the fact that since god is all powerful,
he could have chosen any solution to the scenario with elisha, and something just doesnt add up.
This is just a disguised "god works in mysterious ways" arguement, and thats just bs.
You have not pointed out any reason why god may have allowed this, all you have said is "god may have had a good reason for doing it"
You are also undecided about whether god knows everything or not

How do you know so much about what god does or doesnt know? How do you know that what you know is true?
either he knows everything, or he doesnt. If he doesnt know what we are going to do, then he cant know what the kids were about to do to elisha( yes were back to this circle again, because you cant see the inconsistency). So therefore he had to be judging them on their observed actions. The only actions he observed was mockery, therefore his punishment for mockery is bear mauling, which you agree with.
