It sure is, no matter how much a given christian, or given christian schism might rail against the implications of their beliefs - they insist that god is a savior.
Your own about face on an issue that your cult takes issue with is a wonderful demonstration of exactly this. If we object to god doing a bad thing - replacing it with some other bad thing hardly resolves that concern. God doesn't torture, he just destroys. God doesn't destroy, he just doesn't save. None of these are rationalizations for bad behavior that we would accept from a human being, not even a human child.
