Skip the damned labels, this is the problem with all claims of all god/s in human history.
I used to be a huge fan of Plato until I read Dawkins's criticism of Platonic idealism. Plato stupidly postulated that if you simply "thought" about something you could find it's "essence" which lead to the popular idea of perfection. Dawkins blames much of modern religion on this stupid chase of utopias because of Plato's ideas.
But even as far back as Epicurus the problem with evil is a very valid argument against the concept of "all powerful" and "all loving". I have yet to this day ever heard one valid argument for any god concept that would justify all the fucking crap that happens in reality.
People don't want to accept the messiness of reality. They don't want to accept that reality is both good and bad and does not need a comic book explanation or a super hero vs super villain to explain. God concepts are our species childish imagination in avoiding their finite existence.
