That's only a problem for people who beg a biblical god. Do I seem like the kind that would beg a biblical god If I was rattling the cup?
-but..yeah..sure. It;s a problem for the argument only in that it could also provide warrant for other beliefs...but, for the most part, people who use it aren;t necessarrily worried in those other beliefs..and may even incorporate "maximal evil" in their own. Hello Satan. It;s not a problem..in that such an objection is not an objection to a maximally great x...but..in objection..is an affirmation of this. Lending credence to the notion that anyone who properly understood such god claims could not rationally deny them on the grounds of the argument itself.
IOW, it's a problem only insomuch as it may not be sound..but it is valid (not in all formulations, I only defend platingas s5 operator on academic grounds)..which is a hell of an improvement over begging biblical gods, like a fuckin beggar.......or the gods of A-T theology like a know nothing.
