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.

I've always said (jokingly since I'm an atheist) that Christians got it mixed up and thought Satan was God, so they've really been worshiping Satan all this time. They don't want to admit they're wrong about him being good, so they make up all kinds of excuses for all the horrible things he does. That's why they were totally conditioned and ready to do the same with trump.

Just a gentle reminder that there are very many more Christians in the world that aren't American and certainly don't support Trump. Or even care that much about American politics.

LOL there aren't people in the rest of the world. America is everything and everything is America. If you don't agree will bring "Freedom" to you.

And a reminder that the Crusades and Inquisition both happened before USA was a country or even colonies. And Protestantism started because some people thought the Catholic church was too lenient (while trying to avoid being put to death by the Catholic church for saying that publically).

Not to defend American Christianity, but I'm not buying that it's fine outside of America.
