To be more precise, I think a God can break his own rules, in the sense that the world exists in hierarchies, and goods can be expressed in different ways at different levels. A God shouldn't worship man, for example.
But a God shouldn't be able to break his own Goods. Yahweh is said to be inable to do this, but he does. In Hindu myth, Vishnu and Shiva are free to commit evils as they see fit bc India never developed the idea that good has an inherent property of existence, whereas evil can only be parasitic, so for Indian religions good and evil are seen as dependent and somewhat relative, though the problem is somewhat solved in Mahayana where good = clarity and evil = limitation
