His list of Bad Things™ is suspect. Obtuse isn't the right word, duplicitous comes to mind, however...and now we're getting bitchy because we can;t actually show our benevolent dictator to be any more benevolent than a five year old child? "God" doesn't punish people for using their free will, if they have it, to do bad things. It punishes people for doing things it doesn't like..regardless of whether or not they have free will.
This is why the story fails..even if there were such a thing as a god..-or- a "benevolent" dictator. In truth, there isn't..on either count. Just it's sycophants looking to make a transaction for status in the next life, who can do nothing other than cast shade on anyone who points out the shitty inanity of this entire fable.
