i think the common argument for this (not that i agree with it) is that God just see evil differently? i.e. you mere mortals think something is evil doesn’t mean god does too.
(and this argument then becomes circular and unfalsifiable, that’s why i think it’s dumb).
It’s not about being “good,” it’s about power, punishment, and hierarchy. You don’t have to be “good” to get into heaven, just fully devoted to and in alignment with the ambitions of their puny gods. They don’t believe you are rewarded for who you are, but who you serve and how obediently. There’s a reason why christians call their deity “The Lord.”

God’s a Taoist. There is no good, there is no evil. There is only his way, or the highway.
The highway:
What do the morals of ants mean to man?
Why put an argument you know is bad? If God isn’t good by our subjective metric, he isn’t good

Well, yes, if might = right, I think I was thinking more along the lines of subjectively from my point of view judging god haha
