Specifically the version of God that is simultaneously all good, all knowing, and all powerful.
Were our universe created by such a being, evil could not exist: our reality would be very, very, very different compared to the dumpster fire that we all get to experience.
I was going to say that I kind of wish The Devil existed, because then we would know that truly horrible people would eventually face damnation, and in a way it’s nice to imagine that cosmic justice could exist.
almost all the GOD in media portrays very similar to the bible ones, cruel, amoral, highly apathetic, and wrathful, probably as way to not upset snowflake christian viewers.
But also because that’s the only way evil in the story can actually exist, and thus actually reflect the suffering and conflict in real life. The Triple-O God can’t exist, as evidenced by gestures at everything
Even if the Christian God was real, Omnibenevolence is the first characteristic to be dropped, as the Bible already depicts a cruel, wrathful, egotistical and petty God.
Interesting definitely, but idk about actually living under that lore… Top boss God is a horny mofo that’ll stick it in anything with a hole, with or without consent, sometimes immediately after shapeshifting into a bull or something; and all of the other gods are some degree of petty or mischievous.
…which honestly is kinda how life is under the US government, so… pass!
God.

Yeah, would be nice if there actually was someone looking out for you…

Like a personal god who would always be there to chat and help you out, that would be nice too.
“Good” is a fickle word
In this context, all good = the complete absence of evil.
“Evil” is likewise fickle.

Agree, but I was think more like the Greek gods. They’re far more interesting.
You can reason with Greek gods. I appreciate that.
