	Maltheism
		Maltheism is the belief that God exists as a cruel, arrogant, abusive, and untruthful being who is not worthy of worship.
		Maltheism further believes that God is dependent on the worship and adoration of human beings for his existence, and that if he is deprived of humanity's worship, he will wither up and die, leaving humanity better off.
		Therefore, maltheism seeks to encourage people of all theophilic religions to stop worshipping God in any form, since worshipping an evil God is viewed as treason against the human race.

		The messages that follow are an introduction to maltheist ideas for those unfamiliar with them.
		This is quite likely most of you, since maltheism has not exactly evangelized itself prominently the way other belief systems have.
		The simplest answer to the question about God is that based on the existence of evil and suffering in great magnitude in our world, this benevolent all-powerful God that theophiles believe in does not exist.

		Maltheism is a modern manifestation of dystheistic belief, aspects of which have been published online in the Maltheism blog (http://maltheism.blogspot.com/) and in an online introduction (http://www.beliefnet.com/boards/message_list.asp?discussionID=164781) on the Beliefnet (http://www.beliefnet.com/) website, establishing a number of beliefs characteristic for Maltheism:
		The Maltheism blog and online introduction refer to people who worship God and believe him to be good as "theophiles", likening belief in a benevolent God to the Stockholm syndrome or to symptoms found on classic cult checklists, in that it is behavior common to abuse victims that come to love their abusers.
		Although Maltheism is often incorrectly thought of as just a form of Satanism, it posits that instead of being a real entity, Satan may merely be a pseudonym used by God when overtly engaging in evil acts.

		The real intent is to simply give voice to the notion that God is not all he's cracked up to be, to let others who have already considered this notion (or are on the verge of doing so) know that they are not "crazy" for believing it nor alone in considering it.
		He believed passionately that our rights as human beings were paramount, and that those who sought to suspend or eradicate our rights solely to promote their own agendas should be exposed for what they are, the consequences of those agendas laid bare for all to see.
		Maltheism is a belief system whose main tenet is that God exists, but is not "good" (as he claims to be) but rather is wholly evil.

	Informat.io on Eutheism Dystheism And Maltheism
		Gnosticism, Satanism, and Maltheism are examples of belief systems that have at least some dystheistic tenets.
		Maltheism is a modern manifestation of dystheistic belief, aspects of which have been published online in the Maltheism blog [1] and in an online introduction [2] on the Beliefnet [3] website.

		For most of them, there is no hope of their changing their minds about their beliefs—so entrenched in them have they become that it's virtually impossible to get out of the rut.
		Given their attitude towards religious belief, they would be counterexamples of everything Maltheism actually stands for.
		The real intent is to simply give voice to the notion that God is not all he's cracked up to be, to let others who have already considered this notion (or are on the verge of doing so) know that they are not "crazy" for believing it nor alone in considering it.

	The Evolution lie (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		Of course, pretty much every organized Christian religion (starting with the Catholics) has declared such a belief system to be heretical and, therefore, punishable by eternal damnation and scorn by "right-thinking" monotheists.
		Maltheism and Gnosticism are the most interesting (particularly Gnosticism), but the two of them are also among the most-hated by traditional monotheists, since both of them suggest (to varying degrees) that God is actually not omnibenevolent at all.
		In fact, Maltheism and several variations on Gnosticism identify God as being actively malevolent.

		In 2006, Australian artist Archie Moore created a paper sculpture called "Maltheism", which was considered for a Telstra Art award in Australia during 2006.
		The piece was intended as a representation of a church made from pages of the Bible, specifically the Book of Deuteronomy (in which God exhorts the Israelites to commit genocide against the native inhabitants of Canaan).
		While some atheists may assert that contradictions and paradoxes in theology and theodicy prove that God does not exist, ultimately they only prove that if God exists he is not of the form and nature usually attributed to him, that God still could exist and be evil.
