I’m looking into how to make an evil god, and I don’t mean a member of a pantheon I want the singular big bad god to be evil
I’ve been looking for real world examples and can’t seem to find examples of this (hurt...durr Christian god-please no) and google just brings up the problem of evil philosophy again and again.
So anons how do you make something like this work?
Is it doomed to be edgy?
Do you know of any real world religions that do this?
>Is it doomed to be edgy?
Edgy doesn't exclude fun or well written
Do Satan and Angra Mainyu count?
There is a certain political "religion" that fits the bill. Can't recall what it is. Camels and sand and exploding adherents...
>Angra Mainyu
This.
Also, some would make a case for Chernabog.
Possibly Loki (and his offspring).
Satan isn’t a god.
>Satan isn't a god.
Maybe not exactly what you're looking for but you might look into Zoroastrianism's Angra Mainyu.
>Possibly Loki
Does being a dick to dicks count as evil?
Loki is certainly evil at the end of Ragnarök. Seth, Apophis, maybe Rudra. Kali may not be evil, but she is certainly a much more bloodthirsty than you might expect from a good god. Somewhat Ares, who really only cares about bloodshed. Maybe Nergal.
