How to Be a Stoic

Evilness/Goodness depends on what utility function you ascribe to god. If you define god's utility function as "avoid all pain in living organisms", then it's indeed an evil or non-cooperative god or universe. I personally can deal with pain (remember, suffering is optional).

So you can deal with pain, but you simply can't bear the non-existence of the pain-giver.

Sounds like a fetish.
