The assertion that god is good needn't be argued against or criticized. We are still, then, basing our morality off "the good"- with god as a convenient proxy for whomever may believe in whatever god is good. If god were not good, then it would not be moral to base ones decisions on whatever that god did or had to say. We've already seen one believer justify the assertion with a harm based assessment of goodness. Well....okay?
Skip god, aim for the good.
Skip god, aim for the good.
