God created all things.
God created Satan.
Satan is evil.
Therefore, God is evil.
That is the argument, stripped down.
No mystery.
- No doubt, the Jesuits and other Christian denominations have considered this and explained it.
- The above conclusion that is based on a particular understanding of God (often by those who get stuck there in the enquiry), is thus refuted by a Christian understanding of God.
This is the age of information. Accessing those Christian refutations are getting more convenient for the curious seekers. And those Christian refutations of God as Evil just keep persisting for thousands of years while particular understandings just fade away with the times.
No mystery there, either.
Perhaps what is sought, in this case, is the presentation of a Christian refutation, here and now. For what purpose, when these Christian refutations are available to all.
