Mike argues it is philosophically irrational to charge God with immorality because God’s character is the very grounding of moral goodness, making the question of whether God could do something immoral logically incoherent, analogous to asking if a circle could be a square.

Mike asserts that God’s existence is the grounding for moral goodness itself; therefore it is impossible for God to act immorally by definition, not merely by fiat. He says seeing something God does that seems wrong only reveals the limits of human understanding and temporal perspective, not a divine moral failure. He turns the challenge back: if God does not exist, there is no grounding for moral categories at all, so the challenger has nothing with which to judge God. He illustrates with the Noah flood: calling God’s judgment evil requires grounding one’s moral intuition in something more authoritative than the Creator, which he finds incoherent.
