"The presence of evil in this world speaks against the existence of a 100% good omnipotent god but the presence of good does NOT speak against the existence of an omnipotent evil god. Why? Because an evil god can still coexist with the presence of 'good' in this world and at the same time be considered evil but not the other way around"

The presence of evil speaks against weather the god is good or omnipotent not both. Either the good is not good, thus evil exesits, or It is good but does not have the power to stop evil.

So,an evil god can coexisting with the presence of 'good' in this world but it would not be omnipotent just like a good god.

Re: Excellent

You assume that an evil omnipotent god has a compulsive desire to destroy all good in the world. This is not so.

Such a god might let a few good things be in the world simply because he just don't care. Or he maybe he likes toying around with them, who knows. But it doesn't make him less evil.

All this does not contradict the presence of an omnipotent evil god.
