The only thing arbitrary is the personal choice of whether or not to accept God's Nature as the object of moral reasoning. Virtue ethics argues that it is both wise and praiseworthy to do so.
Again, all you're saying here is that god's nature is "good" because it is, and because he is "good", then he can't act "bad," so therefore divine command is not an issue for God within this dilemma. You haven't demonstrated anything.. It's just a massive assumption.
It's really not even an assumption. It's a definition: God is good by definition, and morals, coming from God, must also be good by definition.
The problem is that this God is not real, that there is therefore no objective good, and that people are living in delusion rather than taking responsibility for their own feelings and the actions that arise from them.
