While for the sake of argument I will accept your claim that his subjective aspect is irrelevant to morality, that doesn't preclude objective facts about him having moral bearing. I've recently been reading about how life molecules have a certain handedness, and scientists are worried that creating life forms possessing a different handedness would pose a hazard as such organisms might be invisible to the defenses of our standardly handed life forms. Is it not possible that God's nature is similarly handed with respect to his being and therefore any thing he creates will necessarily inherit said moral handedness?In an objective world (or in an objective sense if we prefer), a given subjects nature and whether or not it's actions are coherent with that nature are not truthmaking properties. A god could be very goddy, and everything a god did could inherit it's godness...but insomuch as that outcome or that subject may be true or moral it is true or moral by reference to some facts about the purported objects of the report and not facts about the subject of the report - such as it's nature or predilections or whatever it happens to be doing at a given moment.
