Meditations pt.1 - "Deceit"

I am responsible for the last paragraphs of the Meditations part 1 by Descartes. Lately it really appears to me that Descartes is so bluntly challenging the idea of God. In the following statement, it could not be anymore clear as to how Descartes feels at God’s attempt of deceit upon him (and all others I suppose). “ …I will suppose not a supremely good God, but rather an evil genius, supremely powerful and clever, who has directed his entire effort at deceiving me. I will regard the heavens, the air…and all external things as nothing but bedeviling hoaxes of my dreams…I will regard myself as not having hands, or eyes…but nevertheless falsely believing that I possess all these things.” So Descartes really lets his feeling flow here. He calls God an evil genius! Wow, now that is ballsy, I mean how concerned could Descartes really have been about what the people might have said with making a statement like this? Descartes seems really offended by the way of God, and what story and makings of God should be believed in, such as our body and the earth around us. Descartes takes this personally, and seems to me like he feels hmm…betrayed by God perhaps? Descartes is not happy with the original ideas of life and being, and blames how deceived he has been on God’s power and cleverness; it’s all God’s fault. After putting some thought into it, Descartes refuses now to take hope and pride in what is- that is- because of God himself…or what we have been trained to think is all a result of God himself... This is deep.
