Let me ask you something. Why does anyone need an "excuse" to not believe in a/any God, good or bad? If God wanted you to believe in him, don't you think he'd do something cool like, make his presence known?
I'm sure God's idea of a good time is to hide himself as best he can, and see who will still believe in made up stories and then reward them after they die.

All the Evil in the world serves a purpose -- which is; that it at least implies that most of us have much more compassion than God does.

Plus, nobody wants to believe that there's a bad God out there...


'cept me.

Bad/evil accentuates our appreciation of good, but it does not define it. To give it such weight is to suggest that it is as equally valid and necessary as good. That simply cannot be. As well, to argue thusly would also put an end to those arguments people wish to put forth as to the problem with God not eradicating evil from this world; if it's equally valid and necessary, why should He do so?
