Evidence for God being "a superior being" ?

1-love = a conditional and mercurial intense affection for another person based on familial or personal ties
God's Love = unconditional and self sacrificing-patience, kindness, truth seeking. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It's not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs and it never fails. Always seeks the best interests and a closeness with those who accept that love.

Get rid of the "God is Great" rant and you'll find both definitions are relatively the same with regards to the concept of course there's the exception of the absurd notions that its truth seeking and there being 'unconditional love'; love is not a quest for knowledge but it is quintessentially conditional. Generally you can't love those who intend to harm and/or kill you and your family, to suggest otherwise is completely irrational and nonsensical.

Always seeks the best interests and a closeness with those who accept that love.

Well, I guess even you accept that love IS conditional so you've failed to make your case of God's Love being greater than the predefined concept of love itself here. Your definition of the concept needs work.

And with respects to the Biblical character of God, he is known to be jealous deity, he's often a wrathful tyrant, easily provoked, and goes as far as to actively punish non-believers for not accepting him/his son for *all eternity*.

That's not love tack, not even close.

2- What you didn't like the abridged version? Well what I was pointing out was that it wasn't through neglect . It was intentional.. God thought eternity was important enough to let us know about it, by sending a part of himself to suffer human intolerance, ignorance and hatred and then die horribly for the glimmer of hope that mankind would listen. In the end, from an omnificent perspective, it will be worth it.

First of all the prospect of sacrificing one to one's self as a loophole for arbitrary rules one set up is ludicrous. Second, its immoral, its simply not just to slaughter an innocent person through neglect for another's crimes. Third, why did there have to be a sacrifice anyway, couldn't have the big bad deity simply screw his own rules and just learn to FORGIVE everyone? And fourth, Jesus Christ didn't stay dead and/or in Hell for our sins! That's not a sacrifice. He lasted, what, three days and then chickened out. As far as fictional characters go at least Doomguy stayed in Hell for our mistakes and God's demonic blunders:

That right there is a sacrifice - the doomed space marine from a video game is a superior character infinitely more worthy of respect and reverence than "I don’t wanna die! I wanna be at the right hand of my all-mighty daddy!" Jesus depicted in the NT.

1- The conditions aren't imposed on the part of the creator, they're due to the reciprocal dynamic of exchanging love. If my time here proves anything it's that love can be accepted or rejected, and reciprocated love still feels like love from the giving side, but not from the receiving side. I still say the unconditional part stands.

2- I agree on your point of your perception of the Biblical character of God, that's not love, that's manipulation, personification and misconception.

3- Anything worth having is worth sacrificing for. God does forgive everyone, what about that aren't you getting. He sacrificed for sinners and saints alike. His sacrifice wasn't just his death on the cross that was just the end of it. If you can't see the nobility of self-sacrifice through literally dying to give everyone a chance at eternal happiness, I don't think I can make you see anything different. IMO it seems like you're intentionally wearing blinders though.
