In fact, by calling God a "vindictive asshole" and morally inferior to "today's children of five", it is you who are presuming God's intentions. You're saying that God is in the wrong, but you give no other reason than that God's actions do not make sense to you. But why would they? He's God, and we're not.
Here's the problem for you with that: if we can't judge God to be 'bad' based on what the people who believe in him say about him and the state of the world in light of those claims being true because 'he's God, and we're not', he can't be judged to be good, either. Which means, by your own logic, his goodness can't be a reason to worship him.
