You can make scripture say whatever you want to believe. It's just a matter of finding the right passages and interpreting them in the right manner.
This is why there are thousands of different Christian churches today, each of which claim to be the real deal.
I've not met a Christian yet who didn't see God as a being who always wants what they want, hates what they hate and thinks what they think. God is always on their side. Jesus is a socialist, a capitalist, a liberal, a conservative, a Jew, a Muslim, white, black, gay, straight, bi, asexual or whatever you want him to be.
This is one reason why GodWillsIt is a lame answer.
