So God has no rationale for his prescribed moral edicts?

It's not an either-or....I mean using logic or rational reasoning is not a good source of morality, but neither is what you said.

Reason and emotion are out as "good" sources of morality? Guess we're just screwed then. We could always go with idle capriciousness........so, yep, fucked.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

It doesn't need rationalising in the first place, unless one can rationalise that it's wrong first. Incest is fine.

God never had, and neither those who thought up the concept.
