No, this isn’t some pessimistic outlook on the world; that’s actually how I was as an agnostic, before I was a theist looking for truth.  Laws are one thing, but by definition there is also charity, giving something beneficial to a person who doesn’t deserve it.  By giving some sort of pardon, the deity just gave something that only it could give, but that still keeps evil around, so how did the deity conquer evil entirely?
