Being God doesn't necessarily mean anything.

[She tips her head to the side because this is always a hard thing to explain, but being a witch odds are high she never actually believed in him.]

Contextually speaking, everything we know about God was told to us by other people. All the people who have ever seen them, if they really have, are long dead. People place meaning on him to suit whatever beliefs they want to enforce.

In the same book of the people who worship him, he's wiped out entire populations because they weren't adhering to what they wanted him to do. He's flooded the world, rained down fire and turned people to salt. It's not until his son showed up and started talking about treating people how you wanted to be treated and loving people in spite of the wrong they've done that God got a kinder, gentler face lift.

[She pauses, because that's a lot to deal with.]

We still don't know which one is true. Jesus could have existed just to rebrand him into something that sold better to the huddled masses. So, in the end, God is a highly subjective thing.

[You can't really objectively call him good or bad.]
