There's no necessary connection. One doesn't follow from the other.
Can you shed any light on that? Would you be capable of believing in an evil or incompetent god? Why or why not?
A deist god is neither good or bad. I still believed in a god even after I stopped believing in a good god.
John, I'm not sure where you getting the idea that deconverts end up associating the idea of god with evil?
