Yeah, it boggles the mind how people think Yahweh is good, despite his actions. Except that cultures will make people suffer and die if they don't tow the line, so they need to make up excuses if they're going to get along reasonably with other christians. Though that depends on how hardcore you are. It's no wonder people compare christians to abused spouses sometimes. Abused brides of christ.
As for the basic Human need thing, if you'd die within a week if you didn't get it, it's a need. IV drips are the equivalent of food, since the point of eating food is gaining nutrients. Also you do need socialization and sensory input, since if you stick a person in a sensory deprivation room by themselves, they break down mentally pretty fast. The latter part does require a certain amount of liberty.
