There may well be a god (one of the possible answers) but to say an omnipotent being that exists outside of time would be jealous, wrathful, vengeful, etc (like us) is ridiculous and the epoch of narcissism.
It's also a bit less than likely such a being would create a sentient race, put a condition of worship for eternal reward on them, knowing most would fail and be tortured for eternity.
You think the police are bad? How about the guy that tortures a peaceful Buddhist who spends his life working to help the poor, but doesn't convert?
Your "science" doesn't add up, and is an insult to what God would likely be.
Whatever suits you, pal. These are your own points of contention - I might not agree with some of them like having the Buddhist burn in hell forever because of not converting. It's just a harsh standpoint from a translation taken out of context - the Buddhist might not truly know better, after all. Also stated is (in general) "But the one who does not know and does things deserving punishment will be beaten with few blows."
Just like you have hatred towards those who leech off the society - even if they were your own children, right? If such wrath is really that bad, perhaps you'd be keeping your distance away from them out of sheer intolerance, or even one-off yourself because you think that wrath itself is so evil, and you cannot stand having such wrath? Just kidding.
