If there is a being of huge power who actually interacts with us, the best I thing I could call it was some sort of trickster God. Not good or evil exactly, but one who enjoys screwing around for the sake of it.
That's being generous, more likely I would refer to it as evil, by our standards, mainly by its inaction. If indeed its plans are too complicated for me to understand, which is quite likely, then guess what? I can't understand them. That doesn't automatically make them good.
I know I'm not being fooled by a demon, because I got an app on my phone that would tell me if I was. Those people without this app seem rather overconfident they can't be fooled. The phrase, "That's just what the demon wants you to think" is the rebuttal to anything you say, and you must be dealing with a novice demon if you think you can brush that aside. Everyone thinks they can't be fooled, or "I could be fooled but I'm not being fooled" while pointing the finger at others for being fooled.
