God defined morality.
Is he not subject to the morality he defined?

Your vaunted reasoning has failed you, O. God also defined the penalty for sin. By your reasoning above, God would be "subject" to this penalty (particularly since OWK has declared him guilty of the sins of theft and murder.) That would mean that God would be eternally separated from the presence of . . . God. How silly.

This is partially what I meant earlier when I commented that you were making God out to be mortal man.

(Do you also get lost in a room with mirrors on facing walls?)

How silly indeed.... but the difference between you and I, is that you look at this paradox, and say God must be subject to a different set of rules, which are beyond our understanding....

I on the other hand, look at this paradox, and say that God could not possibly exist as described in the Bible.
