You have no right to call God cruel.

I'm not. Just the opposite. I'm saying I can not see him otherwise in your theology.

I see Him as sovereign, just, and righteous. I do not see that He is obligated to be fair. In fact, as I pointed out, we don't really want fair. He is not cruel. He is sovereign and just and shows mercy to whom He will and whom He will He hardeneth. And yet, Man is without excuse. There is a tension there. No doubt. But to see God as other than sovereign, as obligated to do anything for humanity, is to strip Him of His deity.
