If God punishes sinners, they say God is bad. If God doesn't punish sinners, they say God is bad.

I see these impossible standards all over the place when it comes to religion.

Incoherent theories make contradictory predictions. That's a problem with the theory, not the critics.

God is bad because God made evil when God could have made only good and then punishes people for being they way God made them instead of God punishing themselves.

Hypothetically, hypotheticals can be good bad or indifferent, or anything in between.

There are currently no standards, other than hypothetical ones.

But I'm not sure that scepticism requires a standard other than itself.

Anything that is not in agreement with the skeptic of that which would be good is bad. Perhaps the concept of hell is all wrong in and of itself as a punishment right out the gate.

God created evil. Does the person decide to do evil or does God?

Does the person act to do things to bring about the creation of evil from God?

Where in the bible does god or his representatives not punish sinners?

What do you believe causes scepticism when it comes to religion?

Who says that? To me this is a good thing.

Isn't this?

"NINJA ART, KILL YOURSELF NO JUTSU!!!!!!!"

Translates to "I don't have any intelligent responses to your questions so I'll just play goofy instead".

Gotcha.
