CMV: The story of Job proves that the judeo-christian god is not good

I don't buy this argument. As my philosophy teacher put it, "if morality is subjective then Hitler was right

That's not what it means at all, since there are numerous conclusions to draw. For example, you can still use societally-based morality and ethicality, but that is still a human construct that is being applied as standard; it doesn't necessarily mean it is intrinsic or not, as radicalized as this may be.

There is an objective way to view the morality of an action, and being "the Creator" doesn't actually absolve anyone of this

Well in theory, yes it does; if God is the judge of what is moral or not, he would then become the objective lens of morality. Issue is that we can't prove God's existence, so we can't necessarily say that he literally has an objective morality. Nevertheless, in the context of the biblical text you would be good and justified as he is deeming this "moral", so it just becomes void to me. Nevertheless, as I stated, we are also judging him with our own human-based comprehension of morality, even though he may not even apply.

For example, the creator of GIFs believes that it should be pronounced "jif". But most people disagree with him because the G stands for graphics and therefor should be a hard sound in keeping with the original word and language rules.

That's not justification for why the pronunciation is wrong, but why it's just simply be adopted as an alternative. It doesn't change the fact of what the original word is, but only constitutes that, in the sense of communication, we should probably use what as been constructed as such.
