No. Yes.
God would be the worst parent ever. If he were real he would've had his kids taken away long ago.
On this I can agree.

1 Corinthians 13:4-7New International Version (NIV)
4 Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6 Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
He is a jealous god, and loves to remind people I am the Lord thy God. He is definitely self seeking, easily angered, and keeps a record of wrongs. Apparently he doesn't always protect, and as soon as you die he will cast you away for eternity.
My tradition, Gnostic Christianity calls God an evil demiurge so I agree that his view of love would also be as twisted as you indicate.

They are not the same. One is good the other evil."
Clearly we should follow neither. God gives shit advice.
More like one is evil and the other is worse.
I agree but wanted to give Christians something to think about. Or at least attempt to think.

So best burn it. Then burn it again.
That as well as all other so called holy books.
Not mine though.
