This sounds like as much a reason to not believe the abrahamic god is the one true god as anything. If these things are inherent to a god, and the abrahamic deity acts as bad as the bible portrays him, then he isn't God. He can be thrown in the trash with all the other ones we don't worship, because he doesn't make the cut.
