1) God should love humans as a parent loves children: endless patience and endless compassion. No child left behind, no failures (failure isn't an option). No question too stupid to be answered. No effort too great to help those who are slower in grasping the concepts. No threat of Hell (no corporal punishment). We each get a heaven suited for our uniqueness. Everyone feels valued, loved, understood, safe?
2) God should love humans as a strict disciplinarian. Lots of rules and punishments. Forgiveness only for the most humbling acts. One heaven for those who get there, with a huge stadium where everyone can worship God forever and ever and ever with never a break or anything else to do. Anyone who doesn't like it gets chucked into a lake of fire and brimstone. Your wife, your husband, your kids, your parents, your best friends, whomever. And it shouldn't matter to you that they are chucked away, as long as you're sitting in that stadium worshipping God forever and ever and ever?
