It does seem the god of the Christian faith is capable of something we would call love or compassion, but he certainly does not love us completely if our failure to adhere to his code results in eternal torture. So, I suppose god is capable of love, hypothetically, but it doesn't seem to take advantage of this capacity very often.
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.
