A cruel god?

No, you sin you go to hell is the implied point here.

God deals in truth, what is real, we attempt to deal in truth, but
more times than not we deal in lusts, prejudice, greed, and falsehood,
and so on. These are perversions of what is real, we twist the truth
to suit us, we judge and condemn others for the things we allow
ourselves to do. Our words will show us for what we are, they will
reveal what we knew to be true, and lay out our excuses on why
we didn’t follow through with what it was we should have done.

God is to be worshiped because He is worthy, our lot in eternity
will be because we are worthy, unless we walking in the Grace
and Mercy given freely to all mankind, because of Jesus.

Evil really requires concious will. Storms cannot be evil or good. It just is. Kinda like the kitchen sink.

I agree with that, evil is a perversion of reality, a twist, a corruption
to suit the one twisting it. A child should be loved and cared for, but
a twisted mind or will, perverts how a child should be treated, and
does evil to them. The same thing is done when we do anything we
know we shouldn't, we just offer excuses as to why, revealing we
knew better.
