No, John, it's insulting this imaginary being's believers.
Please understand this. When we say things like "god is an asshole", what we're doing is parodying the beliefs of believers and (in most cases) showing those beliefs for what they really are; silly, and nonsensical.
We don't actually believe something that doesn't exist is an asshole.
