As a nut who used to post here would explain..one of the only lucid thoughts he had...you think that god loves everyone (or is supposed to, more accurately) because it's part of a cultural tradition - not because the abrahamic god loves everyone. Neither the contents of magic book nor the state of the world would bare out the belief in a gods all encompassing love.
The purpose of the condition is institutional, all about recruitment - yeah sure, god loves everyone who does what we say, but free riders will not benefit.
As to whether there would be better ways to "save the world"..yeah, sure, and better than providing evidence..but that's not it's jam. It's a god, maybe it could (and maybe it couldn't) just save the world instead of tell bedtime stories...but for whatever reason, that's what it did. Leading us right back to the initial question of what would be bizarre for a god to have as an attitude...and we have to remember we're asking that of a god that likes the smell of burnt flesh as offering.
Then we get along to the others. Maybe god didn't care that people would distort it's bedtime stories, or maybe it knew that humans would always distort it's bedtimes stories, and maybe it does care but it can't do anything about it. What would the evidence suggest? Particularly with regards to christian mythology, the story itself isn't the first thing god supposedly made that began to degrade and fall just about immediately, eh? Couldn't do gardens right, fucked it up with the first people.
