Ok I have some time so let me try to explain some more.

You saying that your deity could destroy...
What I'm talking about is the root creator. The creator from nothing.

Now if you assert that an originating source was destructive, how does that work? From nothing he... erm... couldn't make anything.

See what I mean?

A destructive force has to be a subsequent force. It cannot be the originating force > God.

Likewise, as this force has to be only positive, then God can only logically do good. So observations of a god that does evil cannot possibly be this God. And this is exactly what the Christian bible asserts about God.

Do you understand that?
