easier to fashion a god in the image of our choosing.

I remind again, that for Christians our closest image of God is Jesus Christ. If we wish to know God in our human terms...

Your images seem to not wish to do this. But however you get your image if it is of Christ and your Christ causes Hitler in all his wickedness, sending mothers and child to their horrible death..

Then somewhere Harley, no matter how certain you are of your road, you have made a wrong term. This much we can can know.

I will stand by the scriptures rather than simple conjecture.

But I would also suggust you're completely missing the point. God is represented through our Lord Jesus. And this God loves man. But men do not love God. What is being completely missed is how very wicked man is for if we truly love God we would keep His commandments. And they are NOT difficult to keep. We just want to make excuses for ourselves like, "Ah shucks, I'm not perfect". Well, no, that doesn't fly. This is our depravity showing and we might as well admit it.

If you really want to know what Jesus thought of us then follow what He stated about us:

Mat 7:11 If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask him!

Our Lord is exactly correct. We are evil. And we need to repent continuously. People have far too high of regards for how we are viewed by God.
