He already knows that. After all, we're all angry at his pet god after the abuses we suffered as children.

I so hate the "angry at god" crap that we're so often accused of ... I mean, if the obvious contradiction of being angry at something that we don't think exists isn't enough, how about this. Why would a god have to be benevolent? I mean, that doesn't seems to be an argument against the existence of god (although it may be an argument against the reasonableness of worshiping such a being). Surely, a malevolent god is just as plausible as a benevolent god, in fact I would say more so. If we were created in god's image, then it would stand to reason that god is just as selfish, violent, and self-interested as we are (and when I read the buy-bull ... that is precisely my impression)

But I'm just as skeptical when it comes to new age (peace and love) type religiosity as I am with conventional religion. Bullshit is bullshit, whether pleasant and dressed up with swirling lollipops and flowers or not. 

Pretty much god of the bible is not benevolent he is more of an malevolent being who has human issues.
One of them being insecure and a lair so yeah. It doesn't matter how much a book says that being is good in that same book
it shows gods fuck ups and clear neglect to his own creations. And when his creations united and started building a tower to the heavens
he knew that humanity no longer needed him and he just destroyed the tower and disbanded humanity with his power. If that story is not
clear cut for a jealously or fear of being unneeded i don't know what is. 

Because god like with some parents are like the crazy parent who doesn't want to let go of their child and let he or she grow up on their own.
