Tough Questions for Christians #12: Evil God

Image via Wikipedia

God is good, God is great, God is infinitely merciful, or at least that’s what everyone tells me when they send me emails saying he’s going to burn me in Hell forever.

This “great” “good” God has personally drowned millions of people, he’s killed people for infractions as minor as simply looking the wrong direction, and if God created everything, then he is personally responsible for the ebola virus, the bubonic plague, flesh eating bacteria, and bad breath.

If that’s “good,” then what’s "evil?"

That’s my question for you this time. What action could God commit, or what action could God do that you would consider evil?

WHAT ACTIONS WOULD BE “EVIL” OR “IMMORAL” IF COMMITTED BY GOD?
