** God is the creator of the world, the designer of the human race, and the supreme power in the universe. He also considers humans to be nothing but a culture of bacteria He is experimenting with, to be snuffed out when they overextend their bounds - or when He [[YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness grows tired of the experiment.]]

** Elysium the Creator exists because [[ClapYourHandsIfYouBelieve people believe in Her]]. Some humans [[KnightTemplar believe She punishes "evil"]], [[ValuesDissonance but each has biased and severe definitions of "goodness"]]. [[{{Greed}} Others see Elysium the Creator as a cosmic cash machine]]. Still others [[NayTheist reject Her existence entirely]] thinking that [[HollywoodAtheist only a malicious god could make an imperfect world anyway]]. The end result [[MadGod isn't pretty]] - [[GoldenMeanFallacy a Goddess who makes EVERYONE miserable and imposes ridiculous and paradoxical standards no one could meet]]. [[YouBastard You]] [[HumansAreBastards Bastards]].
** God created everything, [[TakeOvertheWorld and by extension feels entitled to control of everything]]. How would you feel if the shed you built got mad and ran off?
** Who is more likely to have a [[AGodamI god complex]] than God?

** If God is evil, then not worshipping Him is [[DoNotTauntCthulhu downright suicidal]]. Not only can He make your life in the CrapsackWorld He created even worse, with maybe a BoltOfDivineRetribution or ten, even death is no guarantee of release since God can continue to [[FateWorseThanDeath torment your immortal soul for all eternity.]]

** Under a theology of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Divine_simplicity Divine Simplicity]], God ''is'' all of his attributes, and is thus MadeOfEvil. A supremely evil being would be too selfish to create anything or anyone to begin with ... so nothing exists, and there is no story or setting to speak of.
