In my universe, God is infinity. This phone in my hand is made of God. The person reading these words is made of God. The Jews both good and bad, are made of God. Satan and Moloch and all the rest are made of God.
If you disagree with any of this your God is less than infinite, and that is a false god.
Think of it this way. God is the painter and we are the painting. Or another way. God is the dreamer and we are in the dream. How can we possibly understand the painter as he puts down his brush and admires his work? Not every painting is meant to be immediately beautiful.
Personally, I tend to lean toward the belief that God has set up this vast universe, full of evil and good, just to see which of us can figure it out and show our true colors. Enjoy the movie. Want some popcorn?
I'll have to admit I never intended to confine myself to one shoe box. Isn't pantheism the belief in multiple gods? I believe more in one God with infinite faces. Is that pantheism? And the deism thing I couldn't tell you yes or no. So thanks for that, I have something to study tonight. By the way, which shoe box are you from?
It depends on how you understand the universe.

If God is infinity, why don’t you use the word ‘infinity’ instead of the word ‘God’?
Instead of saying good and evil, why don't I just say good and ungood? I don't know, ask Orwell.
I shouldn’t have expected a logical reply.
No, no you shouldn't have.
God is a Person. Infinity is His context of Being.
What is a person?
You are a person. that should give you a clue.
Your second paragraph sounds like Pantheism. Your fourth one sounds like Deism. Little hard to follow.
