Benevolent Creator God?

[HappySkeptic]

What's an example of something God does that isn't considered benevolent?  We can use the words benevolent and good interchangeably here, since they mean the same thing. How would you define "good," as the opposite of evil? If God is good, then is the opposite of evil. As described in the Bible, God hates evil. Because He is a fair and just God, He must give punishment to those who deserve it. However, He is also a gracious God and offers second chances. 

Punishing those who are evil does not mean He is not a good God. Take a judge for example. Would the judge be a good judge if they let murderers and thieves go who deserved prison or a death sentence. No! Of course they wouldn't be good. Because being good also means having justice. So, how would you describe the definition of good? And how does God not fit into your vision of what good is?

Look at all the things which god has declared the death penalty for.  Look at all the massacres God Himself undertook, as well as those he ordered others to do.

The only way to be a "biblical Christian" is to believe that the judgments and punishments were and still are correct (god not being changeable).  The only reason we don't massacre people today in the name of God is the New Testament idea that God is deferring capital judgment to give us a chance to "come to Jesus", or else have an eternity of hellfire.

Yeah, the biblical God is a monster, and bible-believers become moral monsters by believing this.  It is bible believers who demand death penalties.  It is the bible believers who place no value on the Earth, because it will all be destroyed by God soon anyway (and God gave it to us to subdue).  Believing in the bible means to completely devalue life at the expense of an imagined heaven.  There is a reason the Catholic Church made suicide a mortal sin.  People believed that it would be best to kill themselves while they knew they were saved, rather than risk dying at some future time when they weren't.

Considering that God is the creator of evil, he really seems to be pissed at himself.
