But remember this is a god that is supposed to have pulled everything you see out of his own ass. If being vs nothing is no issue for a god, why should morality be. After all, doesn't the creation of matter and energy from nothing at all make atomic structure and everything else we discover arbitrary? Why get upset over morality being cobbled together any old way the big guy wants, but not over an arbitrary physics?

Do you imagine a creator god as working within constraints of some kind or as a totally magical genie?
