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.

God is unreasonable and scary when you are a Christian, at least for me when I grew up. You're basically told he can read your mind so you pretend he's a great guy, but to me an evil God is just Christianity.

How does it help to pretend anything if he can read your mind?

You have to learn to fool yourself and to not ask such questions

He can only read surface level thoughts. Any deeper and we'd be able to tell, proving his existence, which would make faith irrelevant and lead him to disappear in a puff of logic.

Nah, he disappeared in a puff of logic because of the babel fish.
