God doesn't act like someone who loves any of us with everlasting love. You have everlasting love for certain people in your life and you treat them better than God treats/has treated us. You wouldn't have done things the way God did things (making bets with the Devil-- why would he hang out with a guy who tried to force him from his throne anyway; destroying children and the unborn with regularity; destroying adults without ever confronting them directly; allowing for the possession by the Israelites of young women as spoils of war; allowing the Pharaoh lineage to enslave the Israelites and then for him to get enraged about such enslavement later on; condemning those you love to eternal torture if they don't exercise their free will the way you want them to by believing something etc.).

Believers like to cherry-pick bits and pieces from the New Testament (and some from the Old Testament) that make them feel happy about God-- like how abused women find something to like about the abusive spouse. God is not a nice person and he isn't good at his job.

Why do you think he's a nice person? Why do you think he's done a good job?

I really feel badly about your obvious bitterness toward God. I have experienced His love. I’ve also experienced His silence, and I’ve grown spiritually through both of them. I don’t consider God a ‘nice person.’ He is the Almighty God; He’s an awesome God. He is king of kings and Lord of Lords. He’s NOT a nice ‘person.’ I’m sorry you feel so hard toward Him.
