We're a puppet show that he's made self aware. Once the show is over he punishes some of the puppets for things they had no say in.
What a dick. And by the same argument, he's designed me to think he's a vile monster. He's made me write this, saying what a lunatic he is. And then he'll punish me for his decision. There's no point preaching to me either since I have no decisions to make; although people don't have the choice whether to preach or not either.
What a bizarre belief system.
It's almost like he's a crude anthropomorphic creature created by ancients in order to give an explanation for things they didn't really understand....

And if the bible does not say He is all loving and all forgiving?
The bible does not say God is All loving. Matter of fact their is a list of those in whom God flat out hates. The bible also never says God is all forgiving. John 3:16 even says forgivness is conditional "That who so ever BELIEVES Shalll not Perish.." Belief is said condition to God's boundless love.
It's funny how your 'logic' only works on the strawmen you build yourself...
