That''s certainly been a constant conception of the divine throughout human history. Capricious. It's easy to see why people who believe in such creatures would come to such a conclusion.
Do not question the lord, thy god (because frankly, it's pointless, gods are gonna do what gods do no matter what some earthbound monkey has to say about it, lol.). 
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

I'm sure we are similar to the lives of the trillions of gut bacteria that call our bodies the universe. We rain down benevolence in feasts of good food and calamity through alcohol and antibiotics with similar capriciousness.
Not like there's anything they can do about it.
If your God is a volcano or storm, capriciousness is part of the parcel.

Thankfully, the gut bacteria don't seem to have the ability to form justified angst on account of it. Their existence is already miserable enough, so that's a mercy.

"Capriciousness" is so ugly and unwieldy, not to mention ungrammatical. It's like "criminality"; such a horrible word. Settle for "caprice" and be done with it.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Study the following photo very well, because it perfectly describes where you are going wrong:

You, sir are this forum's equivalent of Fr Dougal Maguire, what you think is reality is the emptiness which exists between your ears, which sucks in all knowledge, evidence and fact and recycles it as nonsense.
The quicker you realise that you are wrong about everything you've posted on here, the better.
