Because they don't understand that God is Eternal and Unchanging. His ways are right and good and those who turn from his ways are like people who jump off a cliff saying " don't you JUDGE my ability to fly" God warned us against certain behaviours, he said there were penalties for those behaviours. People took that as a threat instead of a warning. So they feel threatened by the truth they turn aside from and call God a bully. He is not a bully , He is Holy and Unchanging .

Churches who have claimed to represent God have very often been murderous, predatory bullies, so people have assumed that God must be like that. But HE has been misrepresented over many centuries by these people. Examples: Slavery of black Africans, Pope's concordat with Hitler and priests looking the other way as millions are killed. Priests blessing their respective sides in WWI (That's what turned my grandfather off to religion; though he later changed after studying the Bible), knowing they are going to kill people on the other side, who have the same religion.
None of this has God's backing

Let see, How many people has god killed in the past 2000 years?
Sodom, Gamorah, he wiped out the entire population in the flood. He let his own son be killed. He sent several plagues to "bully" the Egyptians, which included killing every first born son.
I wouldnt say he is as much a bully as he is a murderer.
Any more questions?

If you check out your old testament you will see NUMEROUS instances of god either killing or telling humans to kill women and children.
God also tells us "Worhsip me or burn in fire forever". Actually hell is under debate, it could just be a pit, we're not sure. But most xians believe in the fire part. So think about that. An omnipotent being makes a planet and some intelligent life on it. He tells his creation "Worship me or burn forever in hell, your choice" Can you imagine a few other ways that this being could have chosen to hang with his peeps instead of burning them forver?

I guess because we see alot of really good people with really dificult lives, so some see that as God being a bully.

Because most people wont take responsibility for their own life and actions, so they blame God for all of their mishaps.
