I don't. I don't believe in objective morality. Evolution can't "declare it so" - it's a process that doesn't have intentions.

Uh, no. You're asserting something is true, but I don't see any reason to believe you.

That just leads to another split in the horn of the dilemma (well now it's a trilemma). If morality is part of god's nature (i.e. "part of whom he is"), then that leaves two choices:
- God can control his nature.
- God cannot control his nature.
