But God does not abuse anyone. People abuse people.
And those who walk away from God choose him not to help them.
People have the freedom of choice.

Let's say the father (or grandfather) is an alcoholic or drug addict, the tendency for such addictions is stronger in the children born from such parents. The same thing can be applied to any sin, such as hatred, violence, thievery and such. But to those who do want to follow God, he will extend that blessed qualities of his parents upon many, many generations.

Take your hate filled nonsense elsewhere, holy man.
We do not visit the iniquities of wrongdoers on their innocent offspring, unlike your spiteful god. Oh wait, he doesn't either, because he's fictional. It's just you trying to blame the victims to excuse the fact that you refuse to help them.
People have problems and everyone needs help.
The transmission of negative qualities from generation to generation happens to all to some degree.
But if people want help, God can help, so they turn to God.

People who hate God, walk away from God. And people have the right to do so.

Oh yes, going to sleep for three days after a punishment that wouldn't have happened in reality is such a big sacrifice. Sign me up.
People do not want to hear that God loves them.
People have a freedom of choice, and this is what they choose.
