Which term is the name for the Good God in the Albigensian dualism?

• A. Neutral God
• B. Holy God
• C. Bad God
• D. Good God

Answer: (D)

In Albigensian dualism, reality is split between two divine powers: the Good God and the Bad God. The Good God is the benevolent, spiritual deity associated with light and the liberation of the soul, the creator of the higher, immaterial realm. Because the belief system names this benevolent force as the Good God, that term is the standard designation for the deity in question. The other options don’t fit because Neutral God or Holy God aren’t the specific labels used in Cathar cosmology, and Bad God refers to the opposing, creator of the material world.
