Such a time for such a lecture ought to be declared morally impermissible.
(Something like scheduling a grade 10 math class for that same time.)
But your topic reminds me of the time RP dressed me down for asking something
like "How does one spell 'P'?", where 'P' was misspelled. Of course there can
be no possible answer to that question since there is no such word as 'P.' RP
defended his view with extended quotations from Plato, all referring to the
impossibility of searching for the nonexistent, so who am I to disagree with
Plato.
I am reminded of this because I believe that "morality"/"immorality" cannot
apply to an omniscient, omnipotent being. So whatever you were doing at the
time, you could not possibly have been writing about the immorality of God.
Makes one wonder about the epistemic authority of our own intentions and
self-knowledge.
Fallibly hypothesizing an intention of clarification,

Or maybe it's my puny understanding....
