Of course it’s possible to say someone is an asshole without knowing the “full consequences.” Other than you telling me things you can’t possibly prove, I’ve been given no reason to believe that a supposedly omnipotent being allowing 1000 people doing specifically what he commanded them to do die makes him an asshole. If he exists.
If you have the power to stop 1000 people from dying, then you tell them to do something and let them die (and not peacefully either considering how unpleasant heat exhaustion is), you’re an asshole. And telling me that they will be rewarded later (which, again, you cannot prove) doesn’t make up for it. If I stab you in the eye and then give you $1000, I’m still the asshole who stabbed you in the eye.
If he doesn’t want to be called an asshole, let him defend himself. Or is he not omnipotent enough to do that and you have to do it for him based on your own unprovable claims?

How can you judge an action without knowing all that led to it and all that will happen because of it?

Sure, if i (a human) were to do it, I would be an asshole but we can’t judge an entity that is infinite with the same logic.

I don’t think he cares what you think considering you do not have the same knowledge as him (we all are created and he is the creator). But even if he were to defend, based on your request, there are multiple assumptions you made. Such as he needs to show up and talk in front of you, when it could be that me agruing here is the manifestation of him defending himself.
“I can’t explain why he’s being an asshole” doesn’t make him not an asshole.
What i am saying is, it is not possible to say someone is an asshole, unless you know the full consequences of someone’s action.
To say that he is or isn’t both requires us to know this full context.
I say he isn’t an asshole because of my belief.
You say he is an asshole because of your belief.

I know you keep saying that I can’t judge your god, but I can and I do. And if he doesn’t care, maybe you shouldn’t care either.
