I'm sure there are some "You're no the boss of me" cards to be played, but the idea of God having some legit authority is pretty reasonable compared to being nice cause nice is nice.
That's my point - it tries to be reasonable, but fails.

Actually, it not being true is what precludes it from being better.

What 'objective' foundation? And how is it objective?
