Saying Joseph was actually Jesus' biological father is more respectable than this nonsense. A new atheist buying into anti-Christian polemic is not shocking at all.
Christians regard it as mere polemic, but it is a trillion times more likely that Jesus’ real father was Panthera, the Roman soldier, than that Mary gave birth as a virgin.

A non-negligible factor in considering Sugabelly, or any posturing feminist, as smart is that we live in an era in which women are encouraged to simply have opinions, without regard for soundness or actual correlation with observable facts.

Quite frankly, as grown, thinking men, we never really shed the infantile equation of good with nice or comely, and evil with grumpy or vindictive. YHVH, throughout the Old Testament, was a good God, but not a "nice" one. One may argue that YHVH's acts of cruelty in the OT served
as a necessity for systemic moral growth in a brutal old world. None of YHWH's actions compensated for a selfish desire, as we see, for example, in Zeus or the other Olympians, or in any other malignant caricature of God. YHWH's actions carried with them a condemnation
