I can't entirely rule out the possibility that there is a God who loves some of us, yet is indifferent to others.

I don't think God is indifferent to anyone. The Bible says that God doesn't want anyone to perish.

If you're trying to figure out who God is, based on your observations, you should acknowledge to yourself that your base of observation is limited in time and space. Men have come up with all sorts of explanations about who God is and how He acts, and even whether He exists at all.

It is better to know Him than to try with our limited abilities to define Him. He has reached out to us in His word. If you haven't already done this, ask God to reveal Himself to you, and then read the Bible.

"The Bible says that God doesn't want anyone to perish."

With all due respect, and I mean that because I love the idea of Christianity, but how can you shut off your intellect regarding a bunch of writings by men who didn't even know what a cloud is? They thought the world was flat; they thought the Sun revolved around the Earth; they had no clue as to why seasons came and went.

They were no more informed than the Druids who built Stonehenge (supposedly). And there is the New Testament with some old guy in cave writing about the end of the world (Revelations). In between there are some facts about an exceptional man - Jesus Christ. But son of the god of the Universe?

Sheesh, the Old Testament is even worse with its fairy tales. Really? A snake with Adam and Eve? How do you do that? How do you buy such fables? Don't answer - I know, faith.

Also, why would god not want anyone to perish? Thought he loved all souls and wanted them to be with him in Heaven?
