God Is Evil/WMG

Christians have an in-built piss-panties mechanism when it comes to this trope

Because it's the only time they don't accept fiction and try to make up outlandish excuses.

Most or at least some instances of God Is Evil are actually fakes

• The idea behind this is that in many cases where the supposed all powerful deity appears as a jerk, he seems somewhat neutered. This is especially true if the Deity’s name is Yahweh or is described as creating the universe. If they were anywhere near as powerful as they are said to be, why would they bother sending armies of angels after the hero turns against them even if Authority Equals Asskicking. If they were as powerful as they said they are, there is no way a mere mortal could ever become a threat to them, and even if that were possible, why not cut the knot and show off why they are called god and scramble the brains of the person who defies them or failing that, Drop a meteor on the sap’s head before they could possibly become a threat. The answer is that they can't because they aren't really god.
  • Old Testament Yahweh could've also have done tons of things far differently under that logic.
