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.

No, Satan is just a being created by God who realized how fucked up God is.

Of course, the issue with God is that its presence equates power with morality, which makes people think Trump is a moral man.

I can't agree with this enough. My sister, a Christian, even agrees. Things are "good" and "bad" because god says they are, and for no other reason. And god is the highest good simply because he said that he is. The reason he gets to make those rules is that he's the most powerful.
