APPLEAL TO THE UNKNOWN GOD(short version)
It was your right to create the universe the way you wanted.
It was your right to create man in your image.
It was your right to give him the capacity for what you declared good and what you declared evil.
It was and still is your right to act within creation anyway that you feel you need to.
As creator this is your right.
So to the unknown god, i do ask the following questions.
Is it good or evil to create an agent of freewill (mankind) and then punish him if he chooses not to obey you?
Is it good or evil to fill him with fleshly desires and then punish him when he acts upon them?
Is it good or evil to ask him to trust in you; yet during his darkest hour, you refuse to reveal yourself?
Is it good or evil to declare yourself provider while many die each day of starvation?
Is it good or evil to declare yourself healer while many suffer each day from debilitating sickness; many which often kill them?
From all this we can conclude:
The unknown god is indeed powerful
The unknown god is indeed intelligent
The unknown god is indeed timeless
The unknown god is indeed space-less
The unknown god has created a universe with great detail
Yet
The unknown god may not or may not be personal
A distant specter; always curious, but seldom interested in interaction with his creations
Content with allowing his creation to go about as they please; only intervening at certain predisposed junctions in history
Can the unknown god be truly called friend?
Does he truly care?
Is the unknown god truly knowable?
I don't know.
