like maybe having evil exist is in his mind better then having us be mindless slave drones who he forces to hug and kiss eachother all the time

since when was omnibenevolence a required characteristic for the title "god"?
because otherwise they're abhorrent I think this was already answered in the text you quoted

was zeus not a god? because he went around literally raping people. he also indirectly started one of his people's greatest wars just for shits and giggles and so he could get out of a situation where he had to decide whether his wife or his daughters were prettiest.
The greeks gave their deities a lot of petty flaws and human characteristics, it's apples and oranges to compare them to the abrahamic ones

how is it apples and oranges?? we're comparing gods to... gods. the abrahamic god put a tree in the garden of eden for no apparent purpose other than to test his creation's blind devotion to his commands, he committed genocide numerous times for no apparent reason other than jealousy that other gods were being worshiped by people other than his people, and he killed a woman for having the audacity to glance in the direction of the giant fireball that used to be her home which god decided to annihilate for, again, no apparent reason. he encouraged his people to murder, enslave, kidnap and rape others (and each other) as long as it didn't get in the way of his being worshiped.

dude was every bit as petty as every other god to have ever existed. explain exactly what justifies the special pleading.

the qualities of omnibenevolence, divine simplicit, omnipotence and omniscience attributed to the abrahamic turdlord weren't given to the peeps up mt olympus so again, apples and oranges.

what position, exactly, are you holding here? You can't judge the two by the same criteria since they lack similar attributes.

I am unclear on how it is that they lack similar attributes when every part of jewish mythology that describes god fails to distinguish him in any meaningful way from every other god that has ever existed for the purpose of this comparison
