"God" as a general concept includes nothing about the "side" he bats for. God's can by definition either be good or bad. So the only way I could see this being turned into an argument against the existence of God would be in regards to specific Gods (say, Yahweh of Christianity). Of course, such arguments are invalid for a number of other reasons, which is why I don't use them.
