God is an unnecessary extra step and tantamount to saying, "God says murder is immoral and so murder is immoral because God says it is immoral." Since value judgments regarding the moral nature of God are made by humans, all value judgments are made by humans.
Well, of course they don't believe it was made by humans. They believe it was made through man by God. God revealing his character and such.
Well, considering the incompatible morality of presently competing Christianities, present Christianity vs. past Christianity, and of course, the Old vs. New Testaments, it should be pretty clear that God has a communication problem in revealing his moral nature.
