We hear so much about a more sophisticated god or set of arguments, but we never see those gods or arguments.
As such, it doesn’t matter whether or not there are more sophisticated gods or arguments, since this god...and these arguments, aren’t those gods or arguments.
This god, and this argument, is common and in contradiction with itself. It’s a minor contradiction, resolved by correcting the metaphysical claim made about the moral system of this god. Unfortunately, that misappropriated designation is central to how people who believe in this god view their beliefs. So even though it’s a mechanically simple issue, it can’t be corrected while retaining the content of the god and worldview held by the believer. There are, ofc, people who believe that morality works this way even if they don’t like it’s accurate metaphysical categorization.
