My question was how do you know the morals your getting from god are good, it is impossible to judge the morality of god when you have no morality of your own.
It is part of the Christian belief to believe that God is goodness and love. So, I'd have to explain why I am Christian in the first place.
This is just my theory, but I think we all have it inside of us to instinctively know that things like love, generosity, honesty, chastity, temperance, etc... are objectively good things, and the acts that represent those things, are good acts. It doesn't mean we hold all the answers to morality, nor does it mean we can't be brainwashed into thinking killing infidels (for example) is good, but I do believe we do have a little piece of "God" inside us to help guide, as part of a human instinct.
