Terrible people exist. They're real. I wouldn't waste any time comforting myself with the fiction that any person is so bad they can't exist - I'd lean into the fact that I don't give a shit how real terrible people are.
Their realness doesn't commit to them, and so too...a gods realness wouldn't commit me to a god's terribleness.
There's this wonderful little scene in last samurai (of all things), wherein billy connelly talks about an assault he was planned to be part of, but..he retorts. "what's this we business...it's walking papers for me".

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
