See bolded. God isn't a man, so your point falls apart.

Why should we not hold god to the same standards as man? Is he that useless, that without morals or guidance that we must by necessity hold him to a lower standard?

I am with Vetinari on this one, if a creator does exist it is our essential duty to show that we are more moral than it. Given the way the unvierse works, that shouldn't be a hard task.
