Definition of "being like God" - the greatest conceivable being, perfect in all His attributes

Ex: the most innocent, perfect being suffered a cruel agonizing death on the cross in order to reconcile sinners into a relationship with God.
Jesus death on the cross is the worst crime in the history of our planet, but God allowed it because it brought an even greater good, namely the salvation of all who would come to place their faith in Jesus.

He only allows those who follow him without question to experience bliss and there rest get eternal punishment.I question His existence almost on a daily bases, but I thank Jesus for sustaining my faith by continually making His presence known to me.

I'm not sure if that would be an "agree" or "disagree."
