Benevolent Creator God?

[R00tKiT]

If by good/benevolent you mean: has ultimately good intentions. Then clearly, the Abrahamic God in judeo-christian/islamic scripture is good. He intends to serve ultimate justice+ ever-lasting happiness for those who followed his path, and vice versa. 

Yahweh was a tribal war god.  He only cared about his followers, and he was brutal to them if they stopped worshiping or obeying.  He had no mercy on the other tribes.  He also advocated that women are chattel, and that slavery was peachy keen.

Ah, but he had an ultimate purpose, so he's good?  Great, any tyrant with an ultimate purpose must then be wonderful.

I didn't say ultimate purpose.. read again: a good god has good ultimate intentions, and scripture in major abrahamic religions tells us just that. OP's question is precisely why there is scripture, it's precisely why there are prophets. God can't be known through guesswork. Atheists just got it backwards, they think in a vacuum while the answer was there in front of them for dozens of centuries, prophets-simple men like me and you, to whom God revealed his message, already clarified these issues.

A recent finding of mine which I consider to be a very troublesome issue for atheism: the most prominent explanation of major religious experiences is that there some underlying neurological disorder that prompted some people to think God spoke to them. But here is the dazzling fact that was overlooked:

Any experience has a corresponding neurological state.

The historian W. Montgomery watt, one of the most famous orientalists who wrote about Islam and its prophet, figured this out a while ago: the allegations that Muhammad PBUH suffered from some neurological disorder are at best irrelevant, God might as well comunicate his message to a human being in an altered state of mind, in fact, it's actually what's to be expected, our consciousness can't handle even mundane accidents and miseries of life, let alone divine manifestation.

This alone is a devastating blow to atheism. Non-believers are pressed to explain away divine manifestation in prophets' religious experience, and until they do so, they are epistemically obliged to accept their message.
