I wouldn't call it an argument against xtianity per se, as the argument predates it, however...
I believe it's one of many reasonable arguments against any deity claimed to be omniscient, omnipotent, and benevolent (omni- or otherwise). However, of a deity who didn't possess those traits, Epicurus would probably say "Why call him god?"
As to whether it is sound, I cannot say. What precisely is a g/God?
The question of a deity's existence or validity of worship of said deity is wholly uninteresting to me without establishing the claimed nature and properties of such a being. If there is a god or gods, I am unaware of them, and frankly, am about as interested in them as they appear to be in me - which is to say, not at all.
