Yes, this was just a story to DEMONstrate the "love" of god in a fleshed-out parable. I did not actually bait this man only to leave him wanting. I have only ever given care and attention to homeless humans I encounter. Unlike the christian god, I would never demand such blind obedience for my "love" and providence in return.
And, I agree that it is a dick move to offer good things only to JERK them away unless one submits - that was the demonstration I provided to portray (god's) behavior.
