I know he doesn't see it this way, but the god that Acrobat alleges to believe in seems to me an impersonal god that, through Acrobat's agency, is moved to move Acrobat to feel various sorts of feels and oughts. But then, what important causal role does such a god play then if all this can be done without it? What exactly is an atheist like Vulcan missing in his moral view that Acrobat thinks he has?
Yes, it renders god completely obsolete, especially considering the fact that the Bible (if he is Christian) doesn’t even condemn the most horrible moral atrocities, like rape and human slavery, that Acrobat himself probably (hopefully) has no internal inclination toward, and never has.
