By general concept I mean God as a general concept, as in definition. As in, "a god is a supernatural (non-temporal) being that created the universe".
Going on that definition alone, nothing more can be said about the nature of God without bringing in other beliefs, of which the religions are built upon. Thus to say "God is evil because he could prevent evil" is to bring in some assertion about the nature of god for which the general concept does not even comment on.
