Art already said what I was going to say in a nutshell. Is it not evil to hurt things/people in order to have something to fix (read: "have people come together")?
I think both sides of the argument are flawed, because both assume to know what a dvine being would do in a given situation based on imperfect human emotion and our small human existence. Good and evil are relative to a people's society anyway, what may be evil to me, may not be evil to you (the Crusaders thought they were doing "good", the 9/11 hijackers thought they were doing "good"). So whose "good" and whose "evil" do we follow as a guideline for this argument?
In any case, I do think that if God (Gods, god) do actually exist, that it/he/they would lean more towards neutral than either good or evil, though I tend to lean towards thinking that God does in fact exist.
