This reduces God's benevolence to a tautology: "God is good because God conforms to the character of God." I see no reason why it could not, hypothetically, have instead been in God's character to revel in human suffering, rendering such a characteristic morally good. Thus morals that derive from the nature of God are just as arbitrary as those which derive from the nature of humans.

Moreover, it would seem that this makes God incapable of committing evil, and thus not omnipotent.
