either powerless or immoral, and why bother with such gods? Neither one of them would be able to create a universe.

Just to be picky, an immoral god could create a universe, I just don't know if such a god would be worth of worship.

zephyr beat me to it, however there is something I would like to add.
​
In a universe that consists, entirely and only of one being, how would you determine if that being is moral or immoral?
