Is God Really Good and Satan Really Evil?

Yes indeed, at this point, the idea of God seems so pointless.

No.  That's something we added after the ink on the stories was already dry.  God was a complex moral character - it was his sovereignty that was absolute, not his goodness.  The guy could be a real prick.  The name Israel means "one who struggles/wrestles with god".  Let that sink in. That we later demanded moral purity in spite of the contents of the stories is par for the course....existing so that we might make demands and then further demands is the raison d'etre of godhood.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
