Is there a specific religious term for the belief "God exists and he is evil"? (lemm.ee)

I am not an atheist, I genuinely believe that God exists and he is evil, like a toddler who fries little ants with a lens.

How can you assume that? There is no data which supports the absence of a creator.

I said "most likely". If you have material, objective, reproducible evidence that skeptics can examine proving the existence of a god, please present it. And win a Nobel prize.

What I mean is that we don't have any data to even comment on the likelihood. You can't say most likely.

And in that situation, the safest bet is to say no. See: the invisible dragon https://rationalwiki.org/wiki/The_Dragon_in_My_Garage

Apply your comment to fairies. Do you arrive to the same conclusion? If not, why?
