You need to have a set of morals that are objective. Objective morals, by definition, wouldn't change with time.
Gibhor is claiming that morals have changed.
By his own argument, he's disproved the existence of God.
Yep. The horrors of the Tanakh are an embarrassment to those who claim a gentle and loving god. Not that the central message of Christianity, "Love me or I will destroy you", is all that loving. At least some early Gnostic Christian groups, like the Marcionites, recognized this incompatibility and rejected the cruel god of Abraham.
