What if God (truly) commanded American Forces to annihilate Canada, and to kill every man, woman, and child, would it then be moral for us to obey that command? Yes, in fact it would be immoral not to.

This kind of thinking relies on several very weak links.
Allow me to rant:
There was a time someone claiming to be getting their orders from God would either be burned at the stake (Joan of Arc), or locked up (Son of Sam).
The whole thing I don't get about the "LOL whatever God does is automatically good, even if any sane person would otherwise call that action grossly immoral" thing is... according to the Bible, humans ate from the tree of knowledge. The knowledge of GOOD AND EVIL. According to the Bible, humans have the capacity to recognize good and evil and to distinguish them.

It would never be moral unless every man, woman, and child in Canada was already wanted for murder or something, and we had evidence for it. Every last child.
And you people say that atheists have no moral?
If you want to annihilate Canada - specifically one small part: the home of He Who Must Not Be Named (a.k.a. 'T**y B****s'), you go right ahead.
You'd be doing the planet a favour.
...oh, and while you're there, just erase VenomFagX as well. He's a fundie oxygen stealer who's serving no practical purpose, too.
Lets do just the same "argument" the other way round:
"What if God (truly) commanded Al Qaeda to fly airplanes into the WTC, killing as many people as possible and inflicting unspeakable horror, would it then be moral to obey that command? Yes, in fact it would be immoral not to."
"David Heddle", it's exactly the same as your "argument", but in this case, the USA is the victim. Would you fly an airplane into the WTC if "god" commands you to do so?
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
