Seems to me that if there is a god, he is evil. But seems most likely there is no god.

How do we know that god isn't perfectly evil?
|
Most of the Old Testament suggests that God is a tosser. When even your own book doesn't give you a good reputation, it's probably time to give up as ruler of the universe.
'We must respect the other fellow's religion, but only in the sense and to the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his children smart.' H.L. Mencken
'False religion' is the ultimate tautology. 'It is just like man's vanity and impertinence to call an animal dumb because it is dumb to his dull perceptions.' Mark Twain 'I care not much for a man's religion whose dog and cat are not the better for it.' Abraham Lincoln 
If you're ruler of the universe, you don't need a good reputation.

The point of initiating this thread was to demonstrate that given morality, free will, and evil, the God concept makes at least equal sense: - being all evil allowing people to freely do good - being all good allowing people to freely do evil The argument that it makes more sense, is harder to carry off but then if we consider how hostile our universe is outside of our own atmosphere and the god of the OT then we are starting to build up a profile.
