Perhaps I missed the point of your recommendation. That article by Eliezer seems to argue against the existence of a benevolent God who allows evil and death but does not balance this by endowing humans with immortal souls. Since at least 95% of those who worship Jehovah (to say nothing of Hindus) understand the Deity quite differently, I don’t really see the relevance.
But while I am speaking to you, I’m curious as to whether (in my grandfather comment) I correctly captured the point of your OP?
(Somewhat related: for those that haven’t seen it, Eliezer’s Beyond the Reach of God is an excellent article.)
