Consequently, any justifications for atheism that are based upon objections to God as a moral monster are unfounded.
You're only open-minded about what you already accept as true, it seems.
If God had explicitly commanded the Israelites to molest little children, many apologists would've still justified such a divine command.
Quite disturbing.
