I do not judge the God of the Jews and the God of the Christians. Here are just a few facts of his as the biblical authors imagined. I must mention that it is no different from other ancient gods like Zeus, Enlil, Amon-Ra, Odin, etc.
And if the universe is a simulation, a video game, and God is this player or developer, that's it, he has the right to do what he wants in this universe because it's just his game.
1. Condemning and punishing people to a horrible, unjust, mortal, and miserable life just because Adam and Eve disobeyed his command and ate the fruit stopped from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and from here all misfortunes departed, driving them away. from Eden. From that moment, the Creator condemned every human being born on this planet to experience weight, grow old, and die.

Historically, hunter-gatherers wanted to eat more than nature gave them and began farming 12,000 years ago. Since then, there have been social inequalities, wars, famine, difficulties in agricultural work, human immunity and life expectancy have decreased, there have been diseases such as obesity, plague, malaria, tooth decay, venereal disease through the development of urban areas. I mean, we wanted to progress, but we have to take on the difficulties and put all this in the hands of God

6. The Ten Plagues of Egypt ruined the Egyptian economy and civilization by destroying hail and locust crops, fishing through the red Nile, killing animals with insects and lice, injuring people with bugs, and the three-day darkness of the desert storm. And God hardened Pharaoh's heart to refuse Moses' requests.
History: These catastrophes happened but at a long interval
7. The killing of the firstborn in Egypt by the angel of death because Pharaoh did not want to free the Jews from slavery at the request of Moses, resulting in thousands of deaths.
History: This also often happened in times of famine when fathers offered more food to newborns because they needed the most food and it happens that wheat crops are moistened, moldy, and infested with parasites.

26. So did Job's family, children, and servants, but then others brought him

History: it is not proven such a massacre, but indeed, he killed his sons, but he also built a lot
29. Jonah - swallowed by a "whale". He didn't die, but it's an absurd punishment, it sounds like some stupid beta game.
30. Jesus, His Son Himself - For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him.
He let him be betrayed by Judas, arrested, humiliated, mocked, spat upon, whipped, and crucified.
What kind of parent would do that to his child? Even a god to his son or demigod, there is no such atrocity in any other mythology and that is why the poor crowded to worship him because it is an atypical story about sacrifice for salvation.
Why wouldn't he do it from the start just by snapping his fingers like Thanos, to bring back paradise and salvation?
Why does it test our faith by causing us harm?

Total:
At least 33 million people killed in 3,000 years!
Nothing compared to Stalin and Mao.
God cannot be judged by the laws or conceptions of men.
In an analogy with politics, God would be an absolute dictator, because he is the sole and eternal possessor of his unlimited powers. Even if it upsets us sometimes, who dares to rise against Him? All we have to do is pray and be content with what we receive.
The devil is not a negative equivalent of God, because he has no divine powers. The devil has only the power to tempt us, including against God, and He tolerates him to put us to the test because the trials strengthen us.
The devil does not exist separately from humans, but only in each of us. If you will, the devil is a genetic mutation at the origin of the appearance of human consciousness and, in particular, of the goal of immortality, which I interpret as immortality in a memetic sense. Resistance to temptation is how the human species can become truly immortal.
