....I'm sure that this made sense in your had. Perhaps try again a bit later, and post something other than word salad?.So the God you imagine is malevolent. Got it..Your god just makes no sense. Epicurus figured it out 2300 years ago:#10 Still bewildered by the evil
God still allows mankind his free will to choose between right and wrong because he knows that man does not become a good being in and of himself by force. God holds to free will because it is the only way mankind can truly become good beings. And when man chooses evil or simply by virtue of the fact the principle of evil exists, some will blame God for it. God has always known that man would have his free will and that some would choose evil over good. That is the price of having goodness exist and freewill. Was God bewildered? Not even close. God knew that man in his imperfect state would make bad choices and prepared a way for them to overcome the bad by planning for the atonement before the foundation of the world.
1 Peter 1:18-21
18 Forasmuch as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things, as silver and gold, from your vain conversation received by tradition from your fathers;
19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,
21 Who by him do believe in God, that raised him up from the dead, and gave him glory; that your faith and hope might be in God.
If your god is willing to prevent evil, but not able
Then he is not omnipotent.
If he is not willing to prevent evil, but able
Then he is malevolent.
If he is willing, and able
From whence cometh evil?
If he is neither willing, nor able
Then why call him God?
being Triumphant against evil is a minimal requirement for Admission to the Everlasting. or just perish when your time is up, life is a test for everyone where success is the only means for advancement.
So the God you imagine is malevolent. Got it.
the gatekeeper to the Everlasting the barrier to such beliefs as the awfulness of construed christianity, the desert religions duplicitous adherents the opposite of malevolent the enforcer of temporal truth. the guardian for the genome of life. and those who have succeeded.

not everyone has your simplistic mentality, the understanding of which, the subject matter, extends back in time before the advent of humanity ... you needn't be scared.
