History PlayingWith / GodIsGood

** Humans agree with the reasoning. Why argue with 'love each other' and other such benevolent ideas.

* '''Justified''': As the Creator of all life, God possesses a deep love towards all of them and sincerely wants good things for them.

** SatanIsGood

* '''Averted''': God is neither good nor evil.

** Humans seemed to have been indulging themselves in stories that portray that GodIsEvil or [[JerkassGods a jerk]] (such as UsefulNotes/{{Gnosticism}}) or Myth/ClassicalMythology) so they think God is a phony in being good, [[BitchInSheepsClothing He HAS to be either a flippant jerk or a downright evil control freak.]] And there were disasters or some miseries that happened, so it has to be God trying to mess up with humans!

** [[MiseryBuildsCharacter This was to test humanity's faith in Him]]. Because they have endured the trials and tribulations, God rewards humanity with more blessings.
** This was because [[HumansAreBastards humanity corrupted themselves into sin]]. As they all have repented, God forgives them and everything is set right.

** [[SheepInSheepsClothing God proves Himself to be the real benevolent deity]], he's not a jerk or not evil. People think like that because He wanted them to get creative with their minds, why else did He gave them Free Will? [[MyGodWhatHaveIDone The humans were shamed and begged for forgiveness]], and God granted them without any charges.

** God is actually good, but humans seemed to have been indulging themselves in stories that portray that GodIsEvil or [[JerkassGods a jerk]] (such as UsefulNotes/{{Gnosticism}}) or Myth/ClassicalMythology) so they think God is a phony in being good, [[BitchInSheepsClothing He HAS to be either a flippant jerk or a downright evil control freak.]]

** God regularly grants the heroes supernatural aid to fight evil but never enough to vanquish it. He doesn't tell them why and berates them for questioning Him. This creates daily conflict within TheTeam and eventually leads to betrayal, abandonment and death. God later explains His OmniscientMoralityLicense; the betrayal was to [[BefriendingTheEnemy convert enemies]], the abandonment was to create allies for GondorCallsForAid and the death for [[CameBackStrong coming back stronger.]] [[WhatTheHellHero Some of the heroes call Him out for this.]]
** God is so good that He's benevolent to everyone, [[GoneHorriblyRight including the people who really don't deserve His kindness.]] As a result, the forces of evil succeed as often as the forces of good because [[StupidGood He's being nice to both sides.]]

* '''Justified''':
** Being the Supreme Creator of Everything means being able to decide what the definition of good is.
** As the Creator of all life, God possesses a deep love towards all of them and sincerely wants good things for them.

** God actually operates on BlueAndOrangeMorality, and thinks of himself as AboveGoodAndEvil.

** God is good, but it's [[BlueAndOrangeMorality only according to His standards]], which causes a huge split of opinions between humanity. One side disagrees with His ways, and argues that His questionable actions such as [[DisproportionateRetribution punishing people harshly for even the most minor crimes such as lying]] and sending people to FireAndBrimstoneHell for their lack of belief and obedience [[GodIsEvil doesn't make Him completely benevolent]] whereas the other side argues that God's morality is perfect and humans can never comprehend it, so they should stop questioning Him and follow Him.
* '''Reconstructed''': There still exists a being that wants what's best for the world, even if that includes bastardly humans. Things may look bleak now... but HopeSpringsEternal.

* '''Deconstructed''': Good or not, people still find reasons to RageAgainstTheHeavens, to say nothing of people like the SinisterMinister, who distorts the perception of God in the world. Plus, there's no shortage of evil people in the world (up to and including a CompleteMonster), so [[CrisisOfFaith how good can God really be?]]
