First, you have the wrong perception about God. God does not hate anyone. He hate sin.
Second, God did not treat women like dirt. Instead, He had to choose one person to be the head of the family. Man was created first, therefore man is the head. The closest I can relate this to is a boss promoting one person over another because they have more experience.
Third, you have to confess your sins and ask for salvation and forgiveness before you can be saved.
If you do not think you have ever committed sin, then ask yourself the follwoing questions?
Have I ever lied, even if it is a little white lie? Have I ever stolen anything? Have I ever commited adultry or look at someone, whom I'm not married to with sexual thoughts? (According to Jesus, lust is adultry of the Heart, and viewed as sin.) These are just a few sins. "As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one." Romans 3:10
Once you determined you are a sinner, understand that all sinners are condemed to die and go to Hell. "For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
Believe that God sent Jesus to die on the cross and raised him up again on the third, to save the world from sin. "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." John 3:16, "Knowing that Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more; death hath no more dominion over him." Romans 6:9
Finally, take Jesus as your savior by asking for forgiveness. "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved." Romans 10:13
This is the only way to be saved.

First off Jesus is God and they are one in the same. You haven't spent much time in the Bible if you don't see the love and compassion of God balanced out with His need to judge sin and unrighteousness.
1 John 2:22-23 says, "Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son. Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also."

This is a common issue where someone has problems with G-d the Father, but no problems with Jesus the Son. It is most common among people who have been abused by their earthly father.

YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE OUR GOD LIKE THAT BECAUSE YOU KNOW NOT OF WHAT YOU SAY BECAUSE YOU ARE COMING AGAINST GOD AND WHEN YOU DO THAT YOU ARE COMING AGAINST JESUS BECAUSE JESUS IS GOD AND GIRL YOU NEED TO RECHECK YOU BIBLE BECAUSE AND ASK FOR FORGIVENESS NOW BECAUSE YOU ARE ON NERY THIN ICE RIGHT NOW. WHY DON'T YOU GO READ Isaiah 9:6, 1st John 5:20, THEN HOPEFULLY YOU'LL SEE SOMETHING THERE.

wow, that is a new perspective--enlightening. I do believe that he was suppose to be a form of God--like the holy trinity so I don't think you could really separate it like that. But it fine to pray to Jesus.

"Why is there suffering? That proves there is no ‘loving’ God."
Study the soil for a moment. It naturally produces weeds. No one plants them; no one waters them. They even stubbornly push through cracks of a dry sidewalk. Millions of useless weeds sprout like there’s no tomorrow, strangling our crops and ruining our lawns. Pull them out by the roots, and there will be more tomorrow. They are nothing but a curse!
Consider how much of the earth is uninhabitable. There are millions of square miles of barren deserts in Africa and other parts of the world. Most of Australia is nothing but miles and miles of useless desolate land. Not only that, but the earth is constantly shaken with massive earthquakes. Its shores are lashed with hurricanes; tornadoes rip through creation with incredible fury; devastating floods soak the land; and terrible droughts parch the soil. Sharks, tigers, lions, snakes, spiders, and disease-carrying mosquitoes attack humanity and suck its life’s blood.
The earth’s inhabitants are afflicted with disease, pain, suffering, and death. Think of how many people are plagued with cancer, Alzheimer’s, multiple sclerosis, heart disease, emphysema, Parkinson’s, and a number of other debilitating illnesses. Consider all the children with leukemia, or people born with crippling diseases or without the mental capability to even feed themselves. All these things should convince thinking minds that something is radically wrong. Did God blow it when He created humanity? What sort of tyrant must our Creator be if this was His master plan?
Sadly, many use the issue of suffering as an excuse to reject any thought of God, when its existence is the very reason we should accept Him. Suffering stands as terrible testimony to the truth of the explanation given by the Word of God. But how can we know that the Bible is true? Simply by studying the prophecies of Matthew 24, Luke 21, and 2 Timothy 3. A few minutes of openhearted inspection will convince any honest skeptic that this is no ordinary book. It is the supernatural testament of our Creator about why there is suffering...and what we can do about it.
The Bible tells us that God cursed the earth because of Adam’s transgression. Weeds are a curse. So is disease. Sin and suffering cannot be separated. The Scriptures inform us that we live in a fallen creation. In the beginning, God created man perfect, and he lived in a perfect world without suffering. It was heaven on earth. When sin came into the world, death and misery came with it. Those who understand the message of Holy Scripture eagerly await a new heaven and a new earth "wherein dwells righteous-ness." In that coming Kingdom there will be no more pain, suffering, disease, or death. We are told that no eye has ever seen, nor has any ear heard, neither has any man’s mind ever imagined the wonderful things that God has in store for those who love Him (1 Corinthians 2:9).
Think for a moment what it would be like if food grew with the fervor of weeds. Consider how wonderful it would be if the deserts became incredibly fertile, if creation stopped devouring humanity. Imagine if the weather worked for us instead of against us, if disease completely disappeared, if pain was a thing of the past, if death was no more.
The dilemma is that we are like a child whose insatiable appetite for chocolate has caused his face to break out with ugly sores. He looks in the mirror and sees a sight that makes him depressed. But instead of giving up his beloved chocolate, he consoles himself by stuffing more into his mouth. Yet, the source of his pleasure is actually the cause of his suffering. The whole face of the earth is nothing but ugly sores of suffering. Everywhere we look we see unspeakable pain. But instead of believing God’s explanation and asking Him to forgive us and change our appetite, we run deeper into sin’s sweet embrace. There we find solace in its temporal pleasures, thus intensifying our pain, both in this life and in the life to come.

I hate to shoot a hole in your theory, but when Jesus said, "I and the Father are one," then they're one in the same.
