Evil in the world mitigates the possibility of a caring loving god. Of course theists will always point to free will to explain a good god who permits evil. But there is also the possibility that god is not good or evil, but some pantheistic regulator of creation. He finds as much beauty in death and destruction as he does in life. It depends on how one perceives evil, but this is a good point for countering theist belief in a God that is supposedly all loving, caring, compassionate and giving. Theist fundy republicans mustn't worship a caring loving god either and use "selective" will to press upon what their God is supposed to be about. The only regulator of what we see or perceive as creation, is our own minds. We act out on it and create the consequence. You should read Herman Hesse's novel "Demian". It explores the idea of the god Abraxas, who is both good and evil. The Old Testament describes god as angry and jealous. But fundamentalists see him as good nonetheless.
