Religions such as Christianity claim that God is good. You say that God is not good. Therefore, you are in conflict with the opinion held by many of your co-religionists.
Don't you mean 'All Good' or 'Wholly Good', which is the same as Goodness.
I didn“t say God is not good. I said God is not human.
Then I said God IS Goodness.
Of course, millions of them could be wrong and you could be right. And, after all, according to your own illogical argument, you couldn't be mistaken if you really thought that was the case. Right?
I assume you've leaped to Christians (who are humans), and not "Religions such as Christianity", as I don't think there are more than 5000 religion in the world. Certainly not millions.
Repeated false assertion does not improve your position in this debate.
You have just described your tactics and position.
I have addressed this point in depth above. All you can offer in reply is repetition, empty statements and one-line dismissals.
I've addressed it in detail also.
You seem hell bent on getting me say what you want me to say. So much so that you cannot argue against the position I hold. Do you have control issues James?
I've tried to extract what meaning I can from the very small small amount of substance that you have written that actually addresses the topic. I have suggested what I consider to be the most likely interpretations of your meaning. If I made a mistake, you could correct me. But your entire aim here is to make yourself a small target by not actually committing to anything. So, you're probably worried that if you actually venture a real opinion on the topic you'll open yourself up to more demonstrations of your lack of logic and consistency.
Challenge #1: Can anybody produce a convincing argument that the God I have described does not exist?
Yes. Evil is a human perception, and a human term. It is only relative to humans.
God is not human. Hence the God you describe cannot be God.
Challenge #2: If you're religious, you might have been brought up to believe that God is perfectly Good rather than perfectly Evil. My claim is that this is a mistake. Can you show that I am wrong and you are right?
Just did.
My aim is to complete your challenge, and I've done that.
Evilness:
1. The state or quality of being evil.
2. Moral decrepitude.
3. Ill feeling; cruelty; selfishness.
4. a euphemism for the devil.

But this is just a diversionary game, isn't it?
Show me the link.
Or are you making it up as you go?
You assert that "God is Goodness", but also that "God is not good".
God is not human.
Are you incapable of arguing against that?
You have a fondness for trying to redefine words so as to use them in a way that nobody else does.
What? We can't use dictionary definitions?
It's not my definition, it is a dictionary definition.
Where did your definition of evilness come from?
