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?
Correct, but I am engaging in discussion with one that believes in a deity and subscribes to a reality of the bible god. The bible god is evil, but only if it is a god, else it is just a bad man/men. If one creates a god then good vs. evil is a necessary byproduct of that creation. There are many examples of god's poor moral judgement in the bible and none for Satan, yet christians believe Satan to be evil and god to be good on the word of the bible.

You make people miserable and there's nothing they can do about it, just like god.
