If a deity like that existed, it wouldn't exactly be favorable towards us, but it would be a rational explanation.
Favorable or not. It's extremely irrational. Intelligance is suppost to encourage reason not the opposite. If god sends people to hell simply because he feels like it, then he is not all loving.
The most intelligent beings are the most rational. If god is irrational, he is unintelligent.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence - Carl Sagan
Mankind's intelligence walks hand in hand with it's stupidity.
Being an atheist says nothing about your overall intelligence, it just means you don't believe in god. Atheists can be as bright as any scientist and as stupid as any creationist.
You never really know just how stupid someone is, until you've argued with them.
