Dammit, who gave Apo another rep? Me liked it at 69. ;(
Since going through 12 pages is not gonna happen, lemme ask you some things Drich:
Does God do anything? If so, what directs the way God does in fact act? Clearly, it's going to be based on what God thinks is good. That is morality, there is no escaping it, save for not understanding what language is, because that's the concept that the word 'morality' refers to.
God and you appealing to God's nature as being what goodness is, is just a value judgement. Assuming God exists (you haven't even tried to do that as far as I know), why does God think himself to be good? Is it impossible for him to have done otherwise? If not, it's arbitrary because he had to. If so, it's arbitrary because he could have chosen not to. This is the nonsense and contradictions that you're incoherent view on morality and goodness leads to.
Further, the fact that God apparently views himself to be the only is irrelevant to what is actually good, because that's just a subjective value judgement by God. There's nothing binding about a meer value judgement by a single being that could be such; it doesn't make sense.
