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.

Philosophy needs to be logical, in my opinion. Otherwise, you're just making up bullshit with no connection to reality.

Which, yeah, not wanting to have any axioms, does lead to that. It's just reasoning around in a circle, but there's no logical path to get into that circle.

Adam and Eve were canonically cast from heaven for being able to define good and evil.

I mean, sure, but then we just need to give a slightly different wonk to our circular argument:

As a maximally good being, only you know what's good, so defining what's good is in itself a good deed.

But yeah, obviously this is just nonsense. I just find it hilarious, how much argumentation you can layer on top of itself, without actually providing a logical statement.
