Can you elaborate on what you mean by "own nature" ?
Whatever you think God's wishes are, you're not exactly in a position to complain. He's God, you're not, live with it. God created free will, he's not responsible for your screw ups.

Again, you can call any rule *arbitrary and meaningless* when it doesn't please your ego. And God possesses all the absolute propertes by definition, his existence doesn't warrant any additional explanation.

4. So who's God's lawgiver? Does he not know? Or does he simply believe he does not have one?
The "who created god?" question or the one you're asking were debunked thousands of time already. Only finite entities with incomplete attributes need an external agent to account for their existence, because they weren't always there. That's not true of an entity that is the answer to contradictions arising from infinite regress.
