Can a neutral good oracle with no deity take Versatile Channeler?

Or does the "Good" prevent that?

I'm not certain you can take the feat at all. The prerequisites don't include Oracle (though that may well be because Oracles didn't exist at the time), nor does the Note at the bottom. An Oracle also isn't '[a character} ' who have the channel energy class ability and have to make a choice to channel positive or negative energy at 1st level. '

That said, as far as I know oracles are functionally immune to alignment mechanics re: spells and abilities (they have no pesky 'you lose your powers if ...' nonsense}, so I can't think of any reason it shouldn't work.

actually, i noticed that it says "you can channel positive energy like a cleric" under life oracle description, so i guess that's that.

It can't work because Versatile Channeler applies to a character with a choice of whether to channel positive or negative (and lets them channel both). No Oracle gets a choice--Life must channel positive. Bones and Juju must channel negative (and even then, only for Command Undead). The only class that can possibly qualify for Versatile Channeler is a cleric (and no, they must be neutral on the good/evil scale to choose it so neutral good doesn't work).
