"You don't need to know why" is your baseless assertion to justify your own lack of understanding. This is disingenuous at best. To be accurate and without bias you must say that you simply do not know. Your own understanding is, not surprisingly, different. That is if you wished to remain on the side of truth/ logic.
Look at the 3 positions I outlined for you above and tell me how you conclude that I have no justification. I assume you just pulled the "don't need to fathom" line out of your ass.
You used to ignore reason and brush over what you really knew was god (your own inaccurate invention) being bad. Your view was contradictory to Christian faith, yet you held it as a Christian in your estimation (I'm sure many people do. In fact I know many people do misunderstand. That isn't a crime. it's just true). You're understanding was clearly contrary to your attested belief. The result, you're self abuse, was an anti Christ act.
All that said, you are obstinately ignoring the point, which is the crux of the matter here. The point is that Christians believe that God is good/ That God and good are the same thing. You don't have to understand that or agree with it. You just have to accept that this is our belief.
We believe that with thorough rational justification. That doesn't have to be your POV, so stop trying to dismiss it simply because you disagree.

So your response to my statement that neither of us can prove irrefutably is "you're shouting magic".
You're claiming knowledge beyond reason.
Say no more
