Does that speak to mans morality or gods?

This is just a ridiculous concept of ownership. I reject the concept of ownership /w regards to human beings. No one owns them regardless of whether or not they "created" them. How about you?
Sleight of hand there. We're not talking about A&E, we're talking about the metaphysics God created, namely, morality. It's fine to own a set of ideas. So of course God doesn't own them (to my mind), and he's just a judge at an eternal court proceeding.

Yup. Because the creator of Google has no authoritative grounds over Google.

Is that a moral issue with moral consequences? If I took my pants off right now..does that make me a good or a bad person? What are the consequences of nakedness, or awareness of nakedness?
It was just a joke
