God is not good nor evil. The concept of good and evil apply to his creations only, and those who do not embrace his love and push him away are termed evil.

We usually call people who act like that hypocrites.

I think it's a fair question. What makes the Devil so fucking bad? It sounds to me more like he's a Joseph McCarthy while God is more like a Joseph Stalin. At least going by the bible alone.
