See this is what happens when you deny God. You start to think you can take His place by making yourself into your own god. You're really pathetic.
If one claims that their personal version of righteousness is better that god's, this only requires that one be a god him/herself if:
1. God exists.
2. God wrote/inspired the standards of righteousness in the bible.
3. God is omniscient or at least unfathomably intelligent.
and 4. God is benevolent.
Omit just one of these and the standards of righteousness in the bible no longer posses their arbitrary immunity to criticism. Why the first two reasons are required should be obvious. If the third is untrue, then god could be wrong about what is righteous. If the fourth is false, then he could have lied.
