Who decides what is ultimately evil, spiteful, or cruel? The most powerful God? Isn&#x27;t that just supernatural might-makes-right?<p>For God to be beyond good and evil, someone (probably God) has to have the authority to decide that. This is analogous to the concept of standing in the legal code. So even to say that God is beyond evil, you&#x27;d have to admit that there&#x27;s some ultimate judge out there somewhere. And therefore something that defines what <i>doesn&#x27;t</i> count as evil.
