Do you remember the point I made about saying 'I just touched' a white hot substance and the inappropriateness of complaining about the burns received?
​
This implies that God is merely an effect from a casue. He has no will, no ability to make decisions. In essence, he is a force of nature that we have anthropomorphized. In that case, God is neither moral nor immoral, he's amoral. He's not evil, but neither is he good.
