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.

Misotheism.

Miso as in misogyny, misandry, etc. Not as in the delicious fermented paste that makes a lovely soup.

Its 'god(s) exist(s) and can absolutely go fuck itself/themselves, possibly for the following reasons...'

I worship the lovely soup.

[–] melpomenesclevage@lemm.ee 2 points 7 months ago

As should we all.

Tofu

Tofu is just cheese but like if you took away everything that's nice about cheese

And cheese is just tofu with animal abuse.

More flavorful, doesn't crisp as well, can't really be structural.

Bean paste

Somewhat pedantically speaking, the belief that an evil god exists (exclusively or otherwise) is dystheism. Misotheism is the hatred of a god or gods. Dystheism implies misotheism, but they're not exactly the same.

Valid. Though misotheism at least implies the person being identified as such thinks god(s) (is/are) morally fuckex
