The most fascinating clue about the nature of god (if we're going to go into a philosophical discussion that assumes he exists) is that humans were supposedly "made in his image and likeness". I'm... pretty sure that doesn't literally mean he has two eyes, two legs, etc. To me, it means he is capable of what humans by nature are capable of but on a cosmic scale.
Theoretically, that would then mean he's capable of the most perfect good, but also the opposite.
(Just an idea... it's not like I majored in theology or anything)
PS. If you can, try your hand at giving some of the others a bit of feedback. If you already have, thanks, can you do some more?
