Here's my take, and I haven't even read the book, so I'm insulated from all bias by my sheer ignorance. ;-)
The author thinks he can pull a fast one on us. He has created a satire of God and Christianity with the world's best "[[deniability]]" clause; see [[plausible denial]].
He portrays God and Christians as viciously cruel. Any criticism that he has portrayed God in a bad light can be dismissed simply by denying that he was talking about God at all. --[[User:Ed Poor|Ed Poor]] <sup>[[User talk:Ed Poor|Talk]]</sup> 16:29, 10 December 2007 (EST)
