It is somewhat amusing, in that Steve's god's moral status is crumbling under the weight of Steve's own inane propositions about both morality, and what god can or cannot do pursuant to it's nature.
One wonders how, for example....if god -can't- do evil because of it's nature...it somehow managed to do enough evil to require a consideration of extenuating circumstance? Nevermind how inept gods attempt to hit the bullseye was...all of us make mistakes...but how did this situation come to be in the first place, if it's impossible? If it were truly impossible, whenever a god was faced with a field of exclusively sub-optimal moral choices (again, as we all are from time to time)..it would be moribound by inability to act, even in service of it's own self-interested goals and schemes...omni-impotence.
