The flaw with this logic is it presupposes a standard of good that may be applied to a god. Under most monotheistic systems, the god is the definition of good. So anything that it does, including not preventing evil, is still good.



So it is a useless distinction then.

If god is omnipotent and anything it does is good... then there isn't any evil. So making the distinction between good and evil seems to not have any value.


Yup.
