Yes. What I'm arguing is this:
1. The christian concept of god is incoherent (his attributes are contradictory.)
and
2. In any case, it doesn't make any sense to attribute 'goodness' to an entity that actually can't do evil. So the christian god's goodness is semantic nonsense.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
