It's worth stating that any God overseeing the world we live in currently definitely is not this God. So when I agreed to the hypothetical, it really was just that. The God would have to be proven to exist, and the love would need to be evident.
The problem with hypotheticals is that if the assumption was true then you can's ask the question. For instance, if there was such a thing as a loving god who interacted with us to the point that we could consider him to be loving our whole mindset would be different. The question wouldn't be whether we could accept him for being loving but rather if we would accept him if he was hateful towards us.
Hypothecticals are like the latest X-Men movie that's coming out. The big wigs want to send some characters back into time to prevent the big wigs from being dummies and starting a war between them. We know such a plan could never work because if it did then there would be no reality in which they sent people back into the past.
