What makes you think God choose to follow the ultimate moral code(s)? God could of choose to be partically moral. If God decides what is moral, then the ultimate morallity is might-is-right. God is the mightiest so she decides on what is moral, right?

"tested by results and realities" doesn't make sense. The results are compared to what ought to be when it comes to morality. How would you determine what ought to be when the results only tell you what is.
