Even if God existed it would not produce an objective morality free from
contradictions because an obvious question would immediately arise, is God
independent of the concepts of good and evil? If the answer is yes then God
has nothing to do with morality, except that He is supposed to act morally
just like everybody else, although exactly why anyone, infinitely powerful
or otherwise, "should" do so is not clear. If the answer is no then the
statement "God is good" becomes a vacuous tautology, about as deep as
"God is God".
