The Christian God, as described in the New Testament, can’t be all-good
Let’s put aside “existent” for a second and look at God as a fictional character. Lots of Christian say that God is all-good. But, in my opinion, this can’t be true. God does and orders some messed up stuff, especially in The Old Testament, the vast majority of The Bible. Flooding the whole Earth, letting Satan ruin Job’s wife and kill his family and animals, commanding Joshua and his men to slaughter innocents (yes I know they didn’t kill ALL of the but that’s still pretty bad), killing the golden calf worshippers, the plagues of Egypt (including the killing of firstborns).
But God specifically stars that murder is a sin. As per his own rules, the Old Testament God can’t be all-good .
