God isn't real. The concept is no different than Santa (and Krampus for the devil. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Krampus )
It is taught to children as a way of scaring them into being good.
Adults grow out of the Santa idea, why is it so hard for them to grow out of the supernatural deity idea.
The idea that a supernatural being is controlling every aspect of every thing in the known universe from the beginning of time until the end of time, is a larger version of saying that Santa can deliver all presents to all houses in the known world in a couple hours. It's a childish idea and the idea that grown ups believe in this concept is proof that common sense is not always common.

I don't know what the term tautology means and I usually have a good vocabulary but I don't read too many books on philosophy which is why I voted to see answers / results. I believe God is good - very good - extremely good - but his goodness can only be experienced by those who choose to be good themselves so somebody who is not good will not be able to taste, see or feel how good God is to him and to those around him. I know from personal experience - when I was trying HARD to be a good person I could feel God's goodness so deeply - NOTHING COMPARES TO IT!!!
So if I drown millions of people would it been seen as good because god did it?
It is definitely true that God's actions are for the best.
You also have to keep in mind that the devil exists as well, and everything he does is for the purpose of ruining your life.
Of course. God's kind hands have demonstrated that rape and murder is lovely.

God is good and perfect. That is the absolute truth, while what our limited brains can understand is only the relative truth. So, no argument there - God is ALWAYS right.
I'm not going to give an opinion, but did you ask another question about could God make 2+2=5?
Which "God" do you mean? the creator?
