2- I won't answer for Fr0d0 but I'll answer my opinion on God = goodness. I believe God is an absolute value residing outside the boundaries of the known universe and relative to our observations within it. That value is usefull to us in that he guides us towards developing true love and betterment of society.
1. Being deluded in the sense that you're using the term is rarely, if ever, a choice.
2. What is an 'absolute value' supposed to be? How can something that lies outside of the boundaries of the known universe be a guide to anything?
My suspicion is that the sort of terminology that fr0d0 and yourself use when talking about god- 'positive entity', 'absolute value' and so on, is actually quite meaningless.
He who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.
