Nietzsche talks about the death of god from the problem of goods that can never be achieved.


Aquinas' rebuttle to to the problem of evil is that god is so good that he creates good out of evil or something like that.

i think an interesting approach with nietzsche might be that he doesnt really think there are good and evil, because good and evil is all relative to the person. So maybe gods nature of good is so above us that the presence of evil is somehow a part of it or some crap. Basically, what's good and evil to humans might be completely different than what's good and evil to god. god might not even see good and evil, they could be nonexistant to him. there's a couple of things on that page that look like they are getting at that.
However, i dont even think god has inclinations towards good or evil in the first place, thats kind of silly! If anything, it could be that the problem of evil proves that god doesn't exist as a good god in the way we think he is good.
