No
Quote:Under what circumstances might Joe alter his moral code?
I don't know, but if we are talking about God and I put on my Christian hat (its lovely, warm and fuzzy XD) then I would say that God doesn't make up the moral law.
Quote:Is Joe bound to any moral code? If so, could Joe perfom an act which would be against the moral code his creation is bound to? Could he instruct/require mortals to do so?
Potentially 'Joe' may be required to do and not to do different things from his creations because he has a different role than them.
Quote:Is it moral for Joe to bind life forms to his moral code, and punish/reward them according to their (non-)belief and (non-)worship?
It would seem a bit silly.
