There are some really bad people that we refer to as "evil", but in reality, evil is the opposite of omnibenevolence (i guess omnimalevolent?) and as we do not have one, how can we have the other.
Well I know yall don't think evil exists, and that there is no such thing as good vs bad, objectively, which is why the comment was strange to me.
The "god is evil" thing is generally the OT god. My reference to the OT god is "evil tyrannical misanthrope". Even if there were a god, it is not that asshole in the bible. If there were any truth to the bible, it would be the stories of tyrannical overlords presenting themselves as gods and nothing more.
You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
