It would depend on the god. Sure, an incompetent and/or evil god wouldn't be bothered by it's design being incompetent or evil...and the cultists of that god would not have an issue on their hands.
It's not a problem for entire pantheons of gods...but it's quite an issue for abrahamics. From the other end of it, though, we can say with certainty that if there were some evil god, he must be incompetent. Things aren't as bad as they could be.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
