Perpetually angry, demands worship, demands compliance with His every whim or He'll destroy you forever.

Sounds like a liberal.

In a sense you're right. The liberal's core problem is their de facto atheism. They have no god but themselves, so they either soften the hard edges of the true God or eliminate Him altogether.  This allows them to become gods unto themselves.

However, they aren't very good at it, being mere created beings with almost non-existent intelligence relative to the true God. That's why all their god-replacement projects fail. What else can be expected?  They just aren't up to it.

Which is where the analogy breaks down. Their attempt to be God is inherently frustrating, and they do not keep their peace, but are constantly striving for unattainable superiority.  This is more that human hearts were designed to withstand, and it drives them into a caricature of God, which caricature is angry, and megalomaniacal, and vindictive. So far from the infinite wisdom and peace and joy and love bound up in the true God it is both ridiculous and tragic beyond words.

As for whether one likes or dislikes the true God, in one sense it is hardly relevant. He's not changing for anybody.  It's not like He's just some guy down the street. If someone doesn't like Him, it amounts to not liking the only source of love, beauty, truth, goodness in the universe. There's nowhere else to go.  Hell is really all that remains for those who can't abide God.

Peace,

Indeed. Good to hear from you.
