I mean, to be fair, if there was a god like the ones Christians claim to have, it most certainly would be evil. The funny thing is you can't use the Problem of Evil argument on a dystheist so they're one philosophical argument better than your run of the mill theist.

(Edit: my auto correct made the christian god plural and I'm keeping that phrasing out of spite, haha)

It really fucks me up how anyone with more than two brain cells can read the bible and not immediately see how fucked up it is. I'm certain people turn to religion out of social despair the same way people turn to drugs.

"Okay, so hear me out here. Say there is a group of people. They're misbehaving. Do we drop a nuke on them?"

"Heavens, no! God says to be kind to everyone."

"Ah, I guess the people he turned into salt and drowned and struck with lightning didn't count?"

The least he could do is clean after himself.

Dog that’s literally why they indoctrinate their kids so early. Private religious elementary with a church run youth group after school, “vacation bible school” over summer break, the whole nine yards. A healthy adult is a lot more likely to realize the inherent problems before they dedicate their entire lives to being delusional.

It'd be neat if religion was for kids and adults were just in on it.

I believed in Santa longer than I believed in God. That tells you something.

Well Santa doesn't have such a big paradox associated.

It is said that religion is a natural antidepressant. Religiosity spiked after the Christchurch earthquake, for example: http://www.plosone.org/article/info%3Adoi%2F10.1371%2Fjournal.pone.0049648

I wonder if solar eclipses have that effect.

What if people just say they believe more to be more likely to collect aid.

Someone who believes that God exists and is evil.

Dystheist or (less commonly) maltheist.

Not to be confused with a miso-theist, who believes god exists as a form of soup.
