I like you Whateverist and I want to say I don't believe you are a disbeliever. It takes time for proofs to sink in...and I hope with time, you will understand and believe.
Almost one accepts proofs right away, it takes time to digest.
The context of disbelief in Quran is only when the proof is conveyed and then people turn away from it, there are so many verses to this and people without means or access to this proof are not judged harshly but most likely forgiven, and I am not convinced I have done a good job conveying it.
And in this age, the truth is hidden, Quran was at a point easy to understand but due to the propaganda regarding it and the injustice of the people who testify to it regarding it, I don't blame people for not knowing it well or not going to study it in depth.
I am not a Messenger nor a Prophet nor a Leader appointed by God, I will not act like I have conveyed the authority of God to the extent everyone here is aware.
God is the cruellest people to evil in the sense he is the severest in punishment, but he forbears and forgives and wants to save people from his wrath, and in the place of compassion and pardon, is most compassionate and merciful, and in the place of exacting punishment and vengeance is in severest in it as well.
That makes sense that ultimate love of goodness would hate evil the most and ultimate love of goodness would in the proper place of compassion and pardon, but the most loving and compassionate in it.

That god, is the evil god of the PoE. Or, more likely, a reflection of the shitty person who imagined it.
