Too often people put God in a box that says He must be this or that. He can be whatever He wishes, whenever He wishes.
And your insinuation that God must be incompetent or evil is based on a misunderstanding of why we're here and how He uses evil to accomplish good. Again, it's putting God into a box. You're saying that just because He doesn't behave according to your understanding of how He should behave, then He must be this or that.
It's a common problem, not sure why but my guess is that people like to pretend as if they have all the answers or are capable of discovering them on their own because they like to feel in control.
Just to add some actual thoughts, MilesAbbott81.
IF your diety is SO mysterious and who's motives are so incomprehensible then.....
Why give said deity and thoughts or time of day?
Not at work.
