Well I only said designer since we cannot prove with science as to how this universe suddenly got "created" so whatever this designer may be, who knows it probably isn't anything but pure coincidence. And yes, also it's stated that the god of the Abrahamic religions is Yahweh/Satan meaning he is good and bad. Therefore, the concept of Satan wouldn't exist. So Yahweh would be the true cause of evil and good in this world. But I am still confused by the idea of an existence of God because we can't prove it physically nor has it given us any signs of it not any help to this humankind, either and people believe in it so much yet nothing happens in this world. Hell doesn't exist, it exists on this very earth.
Thy say that if god made himself known to everyone the purpose of god is redundant. I wonder, how so? I am sure more people would believe. Not like how he would randomly throw a non believer in hell for not finding his will. It's irony. So that's why I started to think that islam's god was actually evil. Because he wants muslims to fight in the name of Allah and kill the non believers.
So I am pretty sure if this god made himself for present in this natural world, I think more people would believe but since he apparently doesn't, he likes watching us suffer from afar because that's his 'test' for us.
This is why I made a distinction between Theism and Deism. Theism's Gods are always interacting with humanity thus God's will supersedes our will repeatedly. Exodus, Adam & Eve, Abraham, David, etc. Deist Gods just get the ball rolling, creation, then leaves everything to the physical laws of the universe. No interaction to save people, no judgement, no messages, nothing. We are left to our own devices. Any God that condemns people to hell based on belief is malevolent. I see these Gods as eternal children. Do what I say or else! A God that judges people for their actions regardless of belief is benevolent. If you led a good life you are judged accordingly regardless of being Hindu, Christian, etc.
The 3 Abrahamics Gods are from insular people that have repeatedly forced foreign influences from their religion and culture or have claimed it as their own. This is a reason why these religions have a history of us vs them, sect vs sect. heretic vs "true" believer. The repeated reinvention or "orthodox" views keep popping up every few centuries. Their Gods reflect this attitude. The major eastern philosophy-religion do not hold such a position. One can be a non-believer while still following "the path" even if they are ignorant of the path.
6 blind men were asked to determine what an elephant looked like by feeling different parts of the elephant's body. The blind man who feels a leg says the elephant is like a pillar; the one who feels the tail says the elephant is like a rope; the one who feels the trunk says the elephant is like a tree branch; the one who feels the ear says the elephant is like a hand fan; the one who feels the belly says the elephant is like a wall; and the one who feels the tusk says the elephant is like a solid pipe. A king explains to them "All of you are right. The reason every one of you is telling it differently is because each one of you touched the different part of the elephant. So, actually the elephant has all the features you mentioned"
