Or do we say that in-that-universe that is the standard of morality, because whatever the creator-being decrees and enforces with its power, is what the creatures in that universe really ought to do out of self-interest?
IMO you've never given a really clear answer to this in all our discussions, though at times it seems to me you've implied you probably believe that the creator-god gets to set the rules and that if he sets those rules as 'be nasty to each other', then that is what morality is for the creatures.
