As we've already defined what is supremely good, then we can have a benchmark for ultimate morality.I'm struggling with the nuance of this. What does it mean to simply be good? Can you offer a sketch or analogy? What causal mechanisms are in place to invoke morality in us? In this model could god describe himself as good, because he is not objective of himself.
Morality was never an attribute of God. As an ultimately perfect being we can deduce that he would be ultimately moral.
