It is impossible to prove that GOD is good and does not lie to us or deceive us, but this belief allows us to advance in learning, understanding, acquiring knowledge, and developing better values and views. If we assume that GOD is evil or deceptive, then every thought and feeling becomes questionable, and we can go nowhere.
Some philosophers say GOD is evil, but how can they say that? If they are so moral and righteous, it would have been GOD that gave them those virtues, and therefore, he couldn’t be evil.
In fact, the very existence of such a strong moral sense within us can serve as a reason to prefer a faith in the good GOD.
The attitude that GOD is evil is called “Maltese” in philosophy, and it is no coincidence that it is difficult to find serious philosophers who support it.
In short, if we assume that GOD is evil, lying, or unreliable, it means that we can no longer trust anything. Not the senses, not logic, not memory, not science, nor even the things that seem most obvious to us. If GOD deceives us, we can know nothing about anything.
