1). God probably does not exist.
2). If a god does exist he probably does not know that we exist because all he did was set the universe in motion. In this case, he can not be said to be evil.
3). If god does exist and knows of our existence it is most likely due to omniscience and our existence means as much to him as an ant's existence does to us. In this case, he can be said to be indifferent, but not objectively evil.
4). If a god exists that has the traits defined in the Bible or any other text stemming from the Abrahamic covenant then such a god can be said to be responsible for all of the hardships of this life, implied by a verse from his own text: "If one knows to do good and does not do it, to him it is sin". By this logic God would be the greatest sinner and can therefore be called evil. That being said it is also up to such a God to decide our fate at the end of days, making it advantageous to worship God, despite his evil nature.
