My biggest problem with this one would be that morals are not the same around the globe. If indeed there was ONE god, from where all morality came and all the people of the world would follow this, wouldn't it be absolutely unnecessary to even debate this? “Is something moral because God commands" makes me think of a certain story in the bible, where a man is commanded to kill his son, to please his god. The god commands, therefore it must be moral, even though the bible clearly states that "thou shalt not kill". I don't see the morality here.
Bingo! Take god out of the equation and it'll make more sense.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura
