Is God Moral or Immoral

To try to break it down and question whether God is moral or not is immaterial, as we are not God ourselves and cannot act as him. Christians are taught to be good people, and not amoral.

Well, Christians are taught to be "good" people with "good" being defined by a church that, for example, rapes little children. As soon as one starts thinking(!) about ethical values it is very difficult to find anything positive in any religion.
The point is that, by today's standards, the values promoted in the bible are not acceptable and - at least - have to be revised. This is even done by the churches themselves: Even the vatican changes its interpretation of the bible (albeit very slowly).
It has been proven by numerous philosophers that ethics are NOT provided by religion but by society itself. (It has EVOLVED to what we have now, and I am confident this is not the end.) This also readily explains why atheists are not more evil than their theist counterparts (in most cases even less).

Stop looking for morals in some old book - look at reality!
