It's the same way when they equivocate on the word love - as if "all" love is equal.
...I love sex. I love children. I love pets. Anyone in love should be allowed to marry.
...All cars have horns. That animal has horns. Therefore it is a car.
...Half a ham sandwich is better than nothing. Nothing is better than eternal happiness.
therefore a half a sandwich is better than eternal happiness.
The evils and calamities and hardening of hearts (and distress at not getting our own way) that God creates are NOT the same as the capital "E" Evil which exists as the ontological opposite of good on our moral compass. And which gets progressively more and more evil as our separation from God increases further and further until the point of no return - hell.
The irony is that most God-haters and anti-theists actually DO think that, ontologically, God created evil, because they routinely endorse the idea that there is no such thing as objective evil- since that would only exist IF God exists.
You can hear them all rejecting biblical concepts of evil and sin and telling Isaiah...God didn't create evil because God doesn't exist
You seem to be getting close to heresy there
