This is where it would be Nice to be Able to Read in the Language the Original Scriptures were Written in.
The way I was Taught, if GOD takes away HIS Mercy in an Area of our Lives (finances, health etc.) that lets the Devil do the dirty work. And the devil woulda Already a done it IF GOD hadn't kept HIS MERCY over us, EVEN when WE didn't know HIM (were Saved).
We open Doors for the devil to kick our Teeth out all of the TIME.
We just don't know it, and we don't know that GOD is Protecting us, even when we Don't Believe in HIM.
That is how GOOD GOD is.
HE is trying to keep everybody Alive so that we can get Saved.
Devil is trying to kill everybody.

You should get a Strong's Concordance and check the original Hebrew meaning of each word translated as "evil" before you attempt to pass judgement on God. Also check the context not just a single word or verse.

Well the god of the christian bible is obviously evil. That much is quite clear, if you actually read it.
