63. I don't know any Deists, it's so 18th Century

The ones who sound that way are liberal religionists like Guilliameb, who say they are Christians or Unitarians or something else. 18th Century Deists seemed to keep the idea of God as perfect but not interfering. Hindus may qualify as not believing in an all-good God, but more typically they say God is beyond all opposites and so on, and so paradoxical that's more of a mystical experience than anything called a god in the West.

As far as evil goes, I am just going by what most people call evil. I suppose we could define evil away by calling even mildly bad (like cheating in a game) things evil or calling the most horrible things in the world not evil.

I am fine with that, but we started with the question as to why an omniscient, omnipotent being would allow any pain and suffering at all, and seemed to think it wouldn't, then you sounded like maybe it would, then you sounded like we don't really know what evil is anyway, so I am not really sure what you are trying to say.
