Man has in my view a duality within himself that is just a part of nature. On the one hand he is benevolent and kind and loving and on the other he is one bad ass evil son of a bitch. It just takes a little prodding to get that little evil man within to come out and play. Wow I just thought that sounds just like your God a kind and loving benevolent Lord until you piss his holy ass off and then you get to see the dark side of good. That is when God says fuck this I am going to fuck you up!!
I assume you received discipline from your parent's to keep you on the right track because they love you?
God does this also.
