>Everyone says that God is good and so, by God's nature, God cannot do evil,
Not a Christard but this is just the mainstream evangelist narrative I'm afraid. Real theologians are more than willing to accept that God is not omnibenevolent

>Mainstream Christian Narrative: "God is omnibenevolent and flawless"
>Actual Biblical Narrative: "God is personal, kind of a dick, and sometimes incompetent, he created humans to help solve his own issues and he created Satan to help weed out humans that don't want to serve him"

That's pretty much what Gnostics think. For Jews God is a lot more personal which means he could either be merciful or kind of a dick depending on who you are and who you ask. It's only mainstream Christians that believe in Omnibenevolence. It's pretty explicit in the Old Testament that God is responsible for Evil
