Also, FSM doesn't forgive child rapists.

Unfortunately, and against my feelings and opinion, he will forgive such crimes if they thoroughly repent.
Manasseh committed the worst atrocities, not unlike you've probably known about, and he repented and will enter heaven after the general resurrection.
I don't agree with such a deal, not at all, neither do I agree with loving your enemies etc.
God doesn't blame me for that hatred, but it will have to be remedied by a superior understanding and compassion. At this point in time, I cannot see that ever happening, but it will.
There was a case where a creepy king of Israel did similar crimes, and God allowed him to be captured, where the enemy dragged him behind horses through thorn bush country. He had a really painful time in jail, he had festering sores for years after.
And he repented and was very sorry for what he had done to others. That sounds more like the justice we expect.
But God looks at vile sinners as misguided, hapless twats, which could be really loving and beautiful sons and daughters, if they were turned around.
I don't always have that point of view.
I am like you.
In fact, I have been disgusted in God on many occasions, but my decision making didn't end there, because life goes on.

@Banned: Can you tell me what all of the "false religions" are?
You've just identified one above, they pick and choose what they want from the Bible.
The simplest formula to identify all false religions is given in the same book that they neglect - Revelation 12:12? "Here are they which keep the commandments of God and have the faith of Jesus" (Note: not faith IN Jesus, but OF Jesus)
Most people know the ten laws of God. That's easy. Thou shalt not steal etc, and Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy.
Nearly all, so called Christian, religions keep Sunday and not the Sabbath.
That eliminates 95 + %,
then the faith of Jesus, requires the same faith that he had in his Father, while he was a human being on earth. Recognizing that he was God, and could return at any time, but chose to remain with the plan.
Most religions reject the fact that Jesus was God and became fully human like us, they have different versions of that. And of course pagan religions eliminate the divinity of Jesus altogether.
Maybe your god. I have never been disgusted with mine.
