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. The OT was about a bunch of confused, fearful and ignorant people. They were all frustrated and angry at life's harsh suffering. Fundies are just harsh individuals themselves, so need to be steered clear of.
