Age of Deconversion

The god of the bible is evil, it is written that way.
But there were other gods who were either good or neutral so the idea of god is not always evil. So it depends.

The God of the Bible was not written as evil. To the contrary, he was written as a God who hates evil. That is how he is described continually through Scripture; and that is how the authors intended you to interpret him.

You are, of course, free to disagree with that description and argue in favor of another; the same way you can argue that Napoleon from Animal Farm was actually the hero of the tale. But you should at least remember that such interpretations are not canon and not the way they were written.

According to the bible god killed everyone on earth bar a small family and some pets, told an army to rape all the virgins of a conquered tribe, killed kids with a bear, destroyed various entire cities, condoned slavery, encouraged persecution of minorities, had many punishments for minor offences etc etc etc evil to the core.
