You said it yourself, he's omniscient and all powerful so if that was the case there is no autonomy. Hence immoral by our standards.
You don't get it. I can toss a block of wood into a fire, or do anything else I like with it, and no one says that's immoral. Why? Because it's not a being with thoughts. If god has predetermined my every thought, then there is no "me." I'm just a block of wood with no rights to moral treatment.
That's a matter of perspective and it still doesn't really change anything. You'd still have to prove that "you" as an autonomous being can exist created by such a god. To prove that you aren't that block of wood when you cannot step away from the beaten path, even if it leads to you being thrown into the fire.
