From his Website:
"However, if you pressed me, I’d say the purpose of life is joy in the present moment, and anyone who tells you different is a lying conniving asshole."
I like him.
So its not "God" he's condemning but THE God, the one that has those few who are stymied in superstitious beliefs by the short hairs. The God that people spend a couple of hours with on Sunday and no one really knows what he wants from them and yet instills all kinds of superstitious morals, with a promise of heaven and or a good beating and roasting in eternal hell fire.
Although I wouldn't go so far as saying everyone who tells you different is a lying conniving asshole. Some are very straight forward and ignorantly direct assholes without a clue.
