Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"? (lemm.ee)

I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

It’s called pretty much every Abrahamic religion. There’s others you could pick from too though.

No they believe in god and also believe that he's good.

Epicurus already teared a hole in that argument 2300 years ago.

They don't believe it because it makes any kind of sense, so arguments against their belief mean nothing to them.

One could also ask that if they deity is so far from conventional logic that understanding its motives are impossible and/or everything is "secret" then what even is the point of worship.

Because god would never send leopards to eat their face.
