Good is good because it is in everyone to do good and feel good about it immediately afterwards, The afterglo is probably God's acceptance of you r good deed.

I don't know. That's an interesting question. It's a bit like the chicken-before-the-egg question.
On the one hand, God invented everything, so it stands to reason He invented morals.
On the other, God is inherently good, so perhaps He simply acknowledges it.
Look at it this way though. If there was no evil, there would be no standard of good. So as long as there has been good, it stands to reason someone (or something) had to be evil. So when there was just God, His character simply existed, and He didn't think of it as good.
My theory is, when God started creating stuff, He decided that His qualities were the good qualities.

Neither. It is good because God knows that it is good. ;-)

Good is good because people say it is.
God has nothing to do with it.
