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.
But I thought you thought there was no such thing as evil?
There is no universal and absolute principle of evil which is independent of human nature. That does not mean that we can't find a working definition for it based on our capability for empathy, desires, feelings and social instincts.
If God wpuld command you to kill everyone, would you say it is moral, and carry it out. If no (and I hope the answer is no) where does the opposition.come from? From the same source an atheist would get it.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
