Obviously, since I don't? No one forces anyone to believe as much...and yet, some people, in clear contradiction to the text of magic book, maintain that god is a good guy. To the point where our new friend here just assumed that this would be our conclusion if we believed the fairy tales.
Well, in a word...no. We can assume that there -is- a benevolent god just to satisfy a persons belief in it..but if we did assume that, an exploration of the god described in magic book would demonstrate that he aint the one. The god of magic book is the god of xenocide and ethnic cleansing. Of childsnatching and battlefield rape. A god of war in general. A god that loves the smell of napalm in the morning. A cattle counter with anger issues who'd have been more civilized if it were raised by wolves.
It's an evil god that promises to destroy it's enemies and spare -some- of it's friends, provided you keep it happy.
