That I might go there because I've said in my past I though God was evil.
Well, first off, you were wrong: god isn't evil. God also isn't good. God is fictional, imaginary, not real..... and therefore, is only as good or as bad as the writers who tell him what to do.
You might also try reading the Bible with a bit of a critical eye and examining some of the things god calls 'good' and 'bad.' I mean, a lot of sex is considered 'bad,' but, unfortunately, rape is usually 'good.' Animal sacrifice is considered 'good,' but wearing blended fabrics is considered 'bad.' And it leads me to question, if god has a values system that fucked up, isn't there a damn good chance that hell is a pretty awesome place to be and heaven would be the worst thing imaginable?
