his paper! While McCloskey's arguments sound good, his portrayal of a vengeful, vindictive and manipulating god seems foreign to a discerning Christian. Upon reading his article, one questions the depth of the author's research on the God of the Bible at all.

One gets the impression that all theists are either dim-witted or gluttons for punishment, maybe even a little of both

distancing ourselves from God. Despite this, it seems that nobody could still stay away from the clutches of sin. Nobody is perfect.
