Seriously? God has most commonly been described as ultimate reality - that which, being known, illuminates everything else.

God is always described by his job rather than his properties.

Imbeciles think that atheism is evil.
No, not atheism, just zealously religious atheists.
Are zealously religious theists evil, too?

If it's not the atheism, then I assume it's the zealous religiosity that is the evil bit.

I guess the final option is that zealous religiosity is evil if applied to atheism, but zealous religiosity when applied to theism is good. Is that it?

Otay. You lie about Christianity.

Qualified enough for you?
I think what he wants is clarification as to where a Christian thinks goodness comes from, if not from God. And, if you deny that Christians think the essence of goodness is the love of God and submission to his Lordship, then what is the essence of goodness in the Christian sense?

Yes. Indubitably. Not only evil, but vile, disgusting, filthy, and perverted.

But I can't help it, I'm addicted to nihilism. Help me, Obi Wan, help me!
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
