The issue here is that you assume your own notion of morality supersedes God's, which is very debatable. You state your own interpretation, of what many consider a subjective matter, as if it is fact - namely that God's desire of absolute devotion is an undesirable characteristic.

Personally, I would agree with you; however, that is nothing more than a personal opinion and I can not hold God accountable to my own standard of morality. Unless of course I knew that my own standard of morality was indeed the one true standard; however, I don't believe in one true standard of morality as I lack any good argument for one (either my own or anyone else's).

Now, if you wished to indicate the inconsistency within God's own system of morality, which there are many arguments for, you would have a much stronger argument.

Well, no. I did not wish to indicate an inconsistency within God's system of morality. All I am doing is sharing my thoughts on the matter, and I expect many to disagree with me and my views. If people feel like God deserve to be worshipped and valued above family, friends and everything else in this world then that's their business, and I respect that.
