No one but atheists believe in this very warped version of god. There is no god like the one you all have made up. The actual God is a real conscious being with divine intelligence.
And continents don't talk, just like big rocks don't create universes. Do I have to teach you everything? God is not a man, so get over it. Even the Christians websites explain that the male pronoun was just used because this an actual being we are talking about, not an it.The planet was created in the way planets are created. Since you can't create one, I don't think you should judging God's way of doing it.
"In most monotheistic religions, one cannot apply a gender to God in the usual sense, as God's attributes cannot be compared to those of any other being. Thus, the idea of a "divine gender" is ultimately considered an analogy, used by humans in order to better relate to the concept of God, with no sexual connotation.
Although God is an intangible spirit in many religions and therefore is thought to have no gender, debate over their "actual" sex nevertheless has passionately raged in recent decades. The preponderance of references to God in both the Old and New Testaments are in the context of a masculine reference, often "Father". However, there are a significant number of feminine allegorical references to God, most often in some maternal role.

Don't burn anyone to death or choose that as your way to die if you really think so.
I don't think very many people get eaten by predators

This is not God's planet or God's challenge. This planet was created for us, not for God. You don't want to suffer, don't cause any suffering to others and you won't. It is as simple as that.

Doesn't need to resort to horrific punishment to make you a better person.
Perfect justice for the victims of your wrath.

People are intentionally causing pain, and then suffering only the pain they have intentionally caused to others. How many times do I have to explain this to you? Jesus explains it like 10 times in the NT. OT God explains it over and over. Hindus and Buddhists know it. Muslims live by it. That's like 5 billion people who have no problem understanding perfect justice. Try to wrap your head around it.

People learn to stop hurting others by suffering through the pain they have caused. Write it down perhaps. There is a great reward once we all become better people. Imagine the most perfect life you could ever have and then some.
