Evil god is great and no god is bleak? I'd think the opposite.


Evilness/Goodness depends on what utility function you ascribe to god. If you define god's utility function as "avoid all pain in living organisms", then it's indeed an evil or non-cooperative god or universe. I personally can deal with pain (remember, suffering is optional).


So you can deal with pain, but you simply can't bear the non-existence of the pain-giver.

Sounds like a fetish.


Haha I will have to think about that, interesting point!
