Everything that exists, including our moral standards, comes from God so what standard can we use to morally assess him. At the very least we should show gratitude to him for creating us in the first place.

He seems to be an illogical believer. If there is some higher standard by which God can be considered evil then he isn't really God in the first place.
His invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse.
Romans 1:20 ESV
