OK Christians. your chance. Convince me of God.

Let me put it this way. If you were invited to the White House for a presidential dinner with all the world leaders present, would you demand a change of venue and demand to the world leaders that they meet you on their terms? If you did how many world leaders do you think would meet you on your terms simply because you demanded it?

I would not demand a change of venue without a good reason, but whatever. That is a terrible comparison.

A God who willingly allows a person to die a terrible death in spite of having the power to prevent it, for whatever possible justification he might offer, is a God not worth the spit of a man's curse, much less his worship. A being with that capacity who fails at the moral obligation of helping his own children in pain and terror (or outright preventing it) is a creature uniquely unqualified to dictate morals to me.

You can say that I can't judge a God by the morals of men. I say, in response to that, that a creature who can't pass the presumably poor test of my mere human morals is in no position to presume that his morals are superior to mine.
