Infact the god of the bible often sounds petty and and angry, demanding sacrifice and worship. since we are made in god's image I want you to imagine something, first imagine the most perfect person you can, then the most evil. Now tell me which one demands to be worshiped?
I have all the reasons in the world to trust scripture, the way you twist scriptures around is dishonest and actually reminds me of Satan's tricks.

How does a house divided against itself stand, what could Satan possibly accomplish for himself by teaching me the love, peace, compassion, truth and ect. of God through God's Holy Word. How is it to Satan's advantage to teach me about the saving grace of Christ, or pray to God and ask God the creator for advice and help. Seems to me Satan would be shooting himself in the foot, backing his play in a way that would go against him. I for one do not believe a being with the intelligence of Satan would commit such stupid things or even think it would work.

God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
