How God became so powerful and cruel?

How God became so powerful and cruel?
If we presume that God exists. How he gained so much power and became such sadist that torturing people for him became as mundane as eating lunch?

Job security?

RE: How God became so powerful and cruel?
We could ask the same question about so many human despots, and the answer in either case probably amounts to the same thing as each is an expression of the other.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Because lies have to become bigger and bigger to overwhelm common sense scrutiny.

It's what humans want.
I don't have an anger problem, I have an idiot problem.

"T'was ever thus." Gods are what we want them to be. A ferocious god will protect us from the guys on the other side of the river. They'll punish people on this side if those folks aren't doing what is required, like giving the fat fucking priests enough for "sacrifices". (Gods get the smoke, priests get what's left.)

A lot of chief petty officers would disagree with you. We went well beyond "absolutely". Hehe
