If God, Jesus, the devil, angels, and demons were all real, we still couldn’t rely on the Christian Bible as gospal (pun intended) — it was written by humans, specifically men, who could have misunderstood or invented things. Think of it like the Snyderverse in Man of Steel: Superman is portrayed as a brooding, violent character — but that’s not his true nature. In Batman v Superman, Batman is straight-up killing people — also not his normal characterization.
So even if much of the Bible reflects real events or real beings, parts of it could still be distorted, exaggerated, or entirely made up by the people who wrote it down.
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 creator and 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.
