And we aren’t even talking about gnosticism yet! What if God was straight up evil and trapped us in the material world. All this stuff about what you can eat or wear or how to worship is just a distraction, luring us with the promise of a false heaven to keep us from realizing enough about how the world really works to escape the material world and escape suffering

The idea of a universe-sustaining God being evil is completely illogical

What if I bred animals only to torture them. Would I be evil? Yes. I would. There’s no reason why a “creator and universe-sustaining God” can’t inherently be evil.
