JLB I found this quote here which apparently you made about the golden rule:
[p1]If the Golden rule is determined by man’s innate morals,
[p2] and God created man, then
[c]God is the originator of the Golden Rule.
So let's apply the same logic here to the argument you are making.
[p1]Evil is determined by man’s innate morals,
[p2] and God created man, then
[c]God is the originator of evil

Society and its morals evolve and will continue to evolve. The bible however remains the same and just requires more and more apologetics and claims of "metaphors" and "symbolism" to justify it.
Prayer is like rubbing an old bottle and hoping that a genie will pop out and grant you three wishes.
There is much about this world that is mind boggling and impressive, but I see no need whatsoever to put it down to magical super powered beings.
