Would you do absolutely anything god told you to do?
If no, your morality is not based solely on God.
If yes, you're a highly dangerous person who could turn into a mass murderer after having a hallucination.
I suspect that most people who say "yes" are actually thinking "no", but they realize that saying "no" will invalidate their beliefs. Only those who are prepared to utterly dispense with their humanity would follow any command blindly.
Or they will say "God would never ASK me to do anything immoral like kill someone," which is just them projecting their own subjective feelings onto God.
