If a creator of the universe is deemed "good" because that god is the one who defines what is and is not good, then morality is purely arbitrary: such a god could have just as well said raping infants is "good." And morality then is merely following the whims of a creator.
If a creator of the universe is deemed "good" because we have a supposed standard by which we can compare him to and say, "yup, he is in fact good" then this morality is external to this god and exists independently of him.
But additional snag is that, assuming (as it almost always is) that the god in question is the Christian one, then there are many instances where this god's "goodness" are highly questionable (to put it nicely), namely in terms of genocide (either directly himself or by direct order). Anyone doing these things would normally be regarded as a criminal, so why does this god get off the hook?
