Why do people always assume that god is what we think is good?
Good for what?
SOME people, notably believers in the Abrahamic faiths make some absurd assumptions about the essentially benign nature of their deity.None of them stand up to scrutiny either from reading their sacred books,nor from logical examination.
No other religion of which I can think have traditionally made such assumptions. Most religions have traditionally had a clear dichotomy between good and evil.Many religious rituals were based on maintaining that balance in favour of good. EG Ancient Egypt,China and Meso America.
