There are many things God says and does which would be sins if we did them. If you shoot someone you’re mad at it, it’s called murder, and murder is a sin. But if God kills someone that He’s mad at, it’s called justice. As the Creator and Owner of all things, God gets to do whatever He wants. He does not abide by any moral code. He is above all laws and rules. So when you hear people accusing God of being evil, they are really saying that if they were to do what He is doing, they would be judged as evil by Him. Many people accuse God of living by a double standard and then they feel justified in resenting Him for it. This is utter nonsense. When a human being manages to uncreate the God who created them, then they can stand in judgment over Him. Until then, we all need to take a big bite of reality pie: we are the dots, He is the King. He does whatever He wants to do and He is held accountable by no one. Towards those who know their place and sincerely care about pleasing Him, God is glad to discuss how frustrating and upsetting His methods can be. He knows He can be confusing and overwhelming, and He has great empathy for our distress. But towards those who are just jealous and bitter because they are eternally outranked by a God who knows how great He is, God has communicated His concern for their miffed pride by creating a nice little place called Hell.
