It’s not a great argument to redraw god as a devil type being and attack that.
I’ll assume - if you’re describing something that sounds more like a devil, you’re really talking about a devil and calling it god
First, you must appreciate that whatever it is you're objecting to with the devil stuff really only means what it does to you. I'm not turning a god to anything, not redrawing anything. I don't believe in any of this stuff the way that you do. I'm simply commenting on the idea that things are worthwhile because they come from gods wherever..instead of coming from gods wherever because they are worthwhile.
More succinctly, that coming out of gods whatever is the worthwhile-making property in this understanding. If that were so, then it would follow inexorably that those "devil things" would be the set of the worthwhile, if that's what happened to be coming out of gods wherever.
I'm not sure what the problem could be. If god was the perfect being, and coming out of his whatever was the worthwhile making property, all of those things would be not just worthwhile but perfect...too.
