As strange as it sounds, I would add that Gnosticism teaches that the creator is evil, and some sects believed that Jesus came to save people from this evil God, which by the way, is also commonly known as the Alien God (and they site that this Alien God realized what Jesus was up to and had him .. eliminated.. fantastic, but true). In fact, one can easily put the creator in Satan’s shoes (sure to be Gucci, of course), because the creator is said to have run amok in some way in respect to the Alien God (vis a vie Lucifer's fall). So, the hypothesis is not entirely without merit, and is on its way to discovering Gnostic belief proper. There’s a lot more to it; I have only recently rediscovered Gnosticism; I had not previously attempted to reconcile deity to the problem of evil, and upon doing so, found that Gnosticism settles it pretty well, providing a nicely packaged deity in lieu of atheism.
