I haven't read the whole thread, I just jumped into random pages and skimmed through. But the OP is asking a question based on the assumption that her god exists. It does not. It cannot.
Humans are not rational creatures. We are animals evolved to survive in a particularly environmental niche. So the OP may immediately rail against the idea that there is no god, but that's because she has probably been taught from an early age that there is one. Or she hasn't been taught critical thinking skills and just accepts what she has been told that also feels good. Science has shown us that the human brain has emotional reactions that are then consciously rationalised.
First, what is a god? We can't even define it, so how can anyone believe in it, especially considering that there is no difference between their god and anything else that they can imagine. And if you could define what a god was, and explain it, then it wouldn't be a god but an alien creature.
Secondly, the very idea of a god is at odds with what we know about how the universe works based on scientific knowledge. And we know that science works. We wouldn't have the modern world if it did not. Medication, transport, weather forecasting, computing, mining and drilling for oil, GPS for example are all based on science that contradicts the Bible. So the OP is arguing from her own personal ignorance by dismissing all these.
The Original Post has about as much connection to reality as arguing about Father Christmas / Santa Claus 's motivations for invading little children's bedrooms and delivering presents if they're 'good'. The only relevance there is to real life is to discuss the OPs own standards of ethics and morality.
There is no god. There cannot be a god. We cannot even define what a god is. The whole idea is nonsensical. It literally is on a par with assuming the existence of Father Christmas / Santa Claus or the tooth fairy.
