If one defines God as "that which sustains the cosmos", one could imagine that such a thing is above criticism.  Why?  Because it isn't a "person", and it doesn't "care", and it doesn't have anything to do with your personal struggles.  Its business is existence itself, not your self-absorbed life.

It would be like asking if a mountain is above criticism.  Yup, it is, even if you'd like the top to be a bit more of a peak.

As for there being a god who is the "one truly objectively good thing in a person's life", that's utter fantasy.  I'm the best thing in your life by pointing that out to you.  You're welcome.
Utter fantasy? To who? An atheist? Don't make me laugh. Of course an atheist would think it's "utter fantasy".
