Because something that is truly god would transcend human understanding and the physical reality we can perceive. It would be beyond understanding and comprehension. If there is a god then you argue it must be good, moral, logical, etc . I'm arguing these labels and ideas have no meaning to a god, a being that could create a universe and all existence would never be burdened by such things or at least our limited perception of them. It would have a hand in their creation and could not be constrained by it's own creations or even judged according to them by our understanding of them, since god would better understand them. Perhaps morality within the universe is like a scale, maybe good and evil just have to end up equal in the end.
Murder isn't evil. Evil isn't necessarily evil. Evil and morality involve the ability to do otherwise, in a deterministic universe there is no otherwise so how can you hold anyone accountable for anything really? We merely act like free will and accountability are a thing so we can have a society.
Also yeah, I'm kind of playing Devil's advocate.
