I am an atheist and I have a question, do you christians believe that god is a good person/being/entity. The bible lists many times that god has commited deeds which, if done by a human, surely would make them aboslutely evil. So if you believe that god is good then what is it that excludes god from following the same moral rules that humans are expected to?

Absolutely. God is good. God is righteous.

I disagree deeply with this supposition. You would only think that if you are misunderstanding what the Bible is saying about God. We would need to talk about it to know to what you are specifically referring.

Nothing excludes God. God is good. God is righteous. God doesn't have to follow moral rules. God is righteous by nature.
