-If morality emanates from God due to his intrinsically moral nature, he’s doing a rotten job of leading by example. How can we be expected to follow the moral precepts of a god who, according to those same precepts, behaves immorally?

Google will answer this for you.
Well, that’s lazy even by your god’s standards. Is that why you’re here? Is that what He inspired and instructed you to do? Come into a den of atheists and just tell everyone to “Google it?”
