It's disgusting, fear-inducing nonsense from a fictional storybook.
Whether or not there is "a god" is a completely different question than whether that God just happens to be described by a story book. There are an infinite number of possible gods, so the probability it is actually any particular one, without any actual evidence, is zero. And each one may have an infinite number of arbitrary criteria by which it will reward or punish us. You can't please all of them. And the idea that they would want you to is ludicrous. A god acting like a spoiled toddler is just plain stupid.
I did a video about this recently for a friend, parts of which may help you:
