You said alot, but this was the part I wanted to focus on.
You said "God is good, even if his followers are not..."
Question: Who says God is good?
Answer: His followers.
God has never spoken to me from heaven to assure me of his goodness. Nope, the only places I have heard this said were from his followers, and from the Bible (a book of writings, written by his followers).
So can you see the irony of what you are telling me? Believe that God is good, because his followers say so, even though their behavior shows otherwise.
Of course, I must say that in my experience, his followers are much more likely to say that God is judgemental, harsh, exacting, arbitrary and capricious then they are to say that he is good.
