If Yahweh exists, is he a fraud?

[Edwardo Piet]

The thing that I find so frightening is that so many people are willing to accept "God is good because he says he is, right there in the bible."  So they will go to great lengths to dismiss all the horrible atrocities spelled out in the Old Testament.  Or they dismiss everything with, "If God did it, then it is good, no matter what it is" and "God is all powerful, so he has the right to do whatever he wants."  The idea that might makes right must also mean that Kim Jong Un can do whatever he wants because he's an all-powerful dictator.

But the funny thing is that all Christians seem willing to accept an all-powerful god which can do whatever it wants, but they won't accept someone like that as leader of their government.

Indeed. It's what philosophically becomes "Divine Command Theory".

The essence of which is:

"What is truth? Authority".

And following from that, if this imaginary authority claims goodness then it truly must be right about such goodness by virtue of it being the most authoritarian about it... it doesn't matter if it's imaginary because the authoritarianism of it represents its truth rather than how it corresponds to a normal conception of reality.

It all starts from the unsound premise of "Truth is that which is authoritarian."

Essentially it's the doctrine of "because I say so" and might makes right, even if the mighty source is unreal. It's allowing one's entire conceptualization of "truth" to be run by authority. It's The Dogma Of The Almighty Gaslighter.
