Is There a Problem of Evil?

If one had more of a privation view of evil, that good is more like metal and evil is more like rust, then the concept of an evil god would not be this nefarious being. I think my view of the nature of god is superior to those that are incorrect. We cannot use empirical observation to determine whether god is essentially good or evil. That's a prior metaphysical question. Would we rather have no evil and no parasitic goodor would we rather have them both? In the same way i'd rather have no fear for racism and no need for mortin luther king than cancer research.
