Of course that statement makes your whole religion a bit of a sham. Your God must be morally neutral as all morals are created by man.
Food for thought: can morals be reversed or are they set for all time. If someone decides that raping children is OK, and everyone else agrees, will it be OK? What will Gods opinion be if he gets out voted on the matter?
sometimes He might choose to send some prophets or do a Sodoma and Gomorrah episode or a great flood equivalent. this was the case in biblical times. when he sent moses, or eli or his son Jesus when mankind really acted like jerks. However, the lack of prophets in this age(better said the lack of our faith in nutjobs pretending to be prophets) seems to indicate God has given up on influencing mankind. We are now intelligent enough(or so we would claim) to be making our own morals. If god doesn't like it he will hold us responsible after death.
that was my response on God's view of our morals
