Can god be considered moral by any recognizable standard? Including the standard that God ostensibly gave us?

Or is God moral because whatever God does is moral because he's god?

God violates his own moral code so many times in the Bible that it's ridiculous, and Christians defend his behavior by saying he's God, and we're not to judge him. But then they say that God is love, and tell us that he loves us unconditionally. It's like, pick a lane. If you can be punished for not loving someone back, then they don't love you unconditionally. If God is willing to kill people for being born a certain way, he does not love them unconditionally.

I would have a lot more respect for Christians if they would simply admit that the God of the Bible does not love his creations unconditionally.

Well that's the thing.
Ostensibly god gave us our moral code...and yet he falls far short of it time and time again.
