God is not evil, and not a narcissist. Despite the fact that if you use the same descriptive terms, and replace God with anyone else, you're be describing an evil narcissist.

I'm confused. Can you elaborate?

If you read the stories of the old testament, you get an idea that this guy is obviously evil. Unless you've been raised in the belief that this guy is good by nature, and anything he does is good by default. The bible says he's good, despite all the obviously evil actions he takes.
