What are the good metaphors that he, D'Souza, John Shelby Spong and Leo Booth find in such twaddle?

I ground mine in our evolved moral sense, our human nature. This sense requires no divine input. No progressive divine morality drives its refinement but our own trial and error- our discernment about how consequences help or harm sentient beings.
No holy books led us to condemn slavery; indeed, the Bible endorses it! We humanists, including those religious who search what is best

Mechanism, not teleology-intent-orthogenesis-vitalism- explains the how and the - why. We need no supernatural, superstitious, supercilious why- that argument from personal

My teleonomic argues that science finds no such outcomes, thereby ruling God out as that Grand Designer, Creator and all referents that use divine intent!
The puddle argument also refutes this silly argument. Putative God had no input to have

We are not pottery to which He grants purposes, and He is not our potter to permit harm to.
Theists are as battered spouses and children,
