You do understand God's special book pretty much contradicts all of this; therefore, it's reasonable to conclude you're just making shit up.
Have you ever even read the bible? And before to ask me this I'll tell you: yes multiple times through and through. And the bible does not contradict my sayings, you are in fact the one making stuff up, since you seem to think the Bible contradicts me, once you actually read the bible, and research what it means, then you may TRY to use it against me

Except for that one time in the Garden of Eden, where he set a trap to justify eternal punishment.

Creating a race of beings to worship God wasn't enough: They will be tortured for eternity if they don't.

I'm sorry, do you really not see the parallel between life in a dictatorship with time limits, and a dictatorship in which you will be tortured for eternity for not living life the way your leader wants?

A being that gives created beings free will, and then demands they live by specific rules contrary to their basic human nature, and worship him for all eternity is not acting altruistically.
God did not put the tree there as a trap, it was there to store where the knowledge of sin would be, God had to put it somewheres
And do you realize that if a citizen of North Korea were even to speak out against Kim, he's be killed on the spot? God gives is multiple chances to repent for our sins, and I hope you're just ignorant about those type of countries, and not actually trying to protect then
Yes, he gives is rules to live by, and if you disobey those rules it is your fault, you're starting to sound very condescending here, are you running out of things to say?
And I really don't see the problem with worshipping God, do you know how to worship? Prayer is a form of worship, singing in church is a form of worship, just saying every once and a while "wow God, you're amazing". That is worship and that's all he wants, but he does not force us to worship
