Does anyone believe that if there is a God he is evil, not good? - Page 4 - Religion, God, and Theology

To answer the title question...

I think any God would have to be evil to exist, given our world.

I might elaborate later, if anyone cares what I think.

Honestly.

Anyhow, humans are bad at rational preferences.

wait what? how is this a response to my question?

So you think that:

1. Lack of drinkable water on the planet. (nothing about distribution mind you)
2. Incurable diseases (which you failed to mention)
3. Natural disasters (natural disaster prevention? lol? and who was talking about relief, not me).

Are caused by man's corruption? You are as crazy as Pletho.

So was God evil when such technology was not available?

Because for the vast majority of human history mass distribution of drinkable water was never an option, but accessibility of sufficient amount of drinkable/safe water was.
