We cannot disprove an evil god just as we cannot disprove a benevolent one. All we can do is look at what we as a highly evolved species know and draw from that, and I personally don't see any reason to believe in any sort of deity.
No - an evil god would keep you guessing doing random "good" shit every so often just to keep the faithful in line.
Compare the good stuff that randomly happens with the bad - there is no comparison. Bad shit = good shit X 10.
To quote Murphy: "If it can go wrong it will."
