A belief in God does not mean that God is benevolent, all caring or all loving.

Agreed. But I think the discussion was whether there was a benevolent, loving, and compassionate Christian God.

I've pointed out before that some people seem to think that the Christian God is Loki, god of misdirection and deception. After all, what God would lay out such strong and clear evidence of an old earth, if it's actually young and "He just made it look old." But the story posted for this thread referred to the other aspects more typically ascribed to Him, such as love and compassion.

You are doing the same fallacy. You are ascribing to a Christian God those attributes that you think such a God must have.
