You can appreciate how you're about to crash into exactly the same problem again, right? That, by this rule..your rule..now, some thing you think is absolutely false and vile must be worthwhile, perfect, and also true, provided it flows out of a gods wherever.
That’s the question.
It means an ununified god
Is whatever proceeds from God perfect and good, or not? If it's not all perfect and good, then God can't be perfect and good, can he? If perfection and goodness are the chief attributes of your version of God, you may want to cut back on omniscience or omnipotence; otherwise you have a creator god in contradiction with observed reality.
I'm not anti-Christian. I'm anti-stupid.
