Why this word is great
MALTHEISM — [Noun] The doctrinal belief that a deity exists, but is wholly malevolent or morally bankrupt, and thus unworthy of veneration. Its etymology is a stark graft: from the Latin malus ("bad, evil") + theism (from Greek theos, "god"), modeled after terms like misotheism and dystheism. Unlike dystheism (which posits a god of mingled good and evil, a capricious parent) or misotheism (which is the searing, personal hatred of a god), maltheism is the cold, clinical diagnosis of a cosmic malignancy. It is the logic found in the tumor growing silently in a child, the earthquake that swallows a city of the pious, and the exact, exquisite suffering of a predator playing with its prey. The great, unsettling claim of maltheism is not that we are alone, but that we are seen, and that the gaze itself is the cruelty.
