If your God believes that murdering 3 million Jews isn't measurably worse than stealing a loaf of bread to feed a starving child, then your God cannot be a moral entity by any standard.
Even the Highpriests are the shewbread. Do not heed the newbie, there is ofcourse a major difference between stealing a loaf of bread to fill an empty belly, and murdering 3 million jews.

is being responsible for the murder of an entire race worse than lying to your spouse? i don't think so.
Wow, that's probably the most silly statement I've heard for a while.
If I lie to my spouse saying, "No I didn't clean the bathroom" to humble myself, then I am equal to a murderer??? Logic exits via the wormhole!
