Even if you had evidence of such a Creator telling us that they're good and intend good for us, what evidence do you have of that actually being true?
The problem with the "omni" or "all powerful" God claim is that the ambiguity negates the concept from the start.
If one sticks to the "all powerful" claim, then this claimed being has to be capable of lying. If it is not capable of lying then you have limited it's power by proxy of logic. If you limit it's power, then it cannot be claimed to be "all powerful".
"All Powerful" is merely an excuse to move the goal posts when someone questions their logic.
I love throwing the bible back in their faces when they say "The bible says" or "God Said"
Isiah 45:7 "I create good, I create evil, I the Lord do all these things".
Malachi 2:3 " Behold, I will corrupt your seed and spread dung on your faces."
^^^^^ I once had a theist argue that that was the KJV version, and argued that the NIV had the correct wordage, which used "refuse" not "dung". Ok, trash or poo, is it ok for a parent to punish a child (because we, according to theists, are children of God), is it ok to punish humans like that? Even if their only "crime" is not believing?
