We should set our thinking by God's standards.
in response to q's like; why wouldn't God just forgive us, why would God, this and that. Nowhere in the bible does it say that God is a big sissy and he'll do whatever we want for us. Just because I might believe with all my heart that if I stood infront of a train I would not get killed, doesnt mean that I wouldnt. God is real, angels are real, heaven is real, Satan is real, demons are real, hell is real.

Whatever is real to you, I guess is real to YOU. The "devil" as they say, is in the detail. There are at this moment something in excess of six and a half billion human beings on the planet, and not by a looooong way do all of them actually believe the same way you do. What is real to you, is not real to them, and the only way you can convince them of the reality of the things YOU believe in, would be to prove it in some way that is so absolutely clear and indisputable that it is beyond all possible argument or doubt. This has never been done, so whoever accomplishes it will instantly become the most well known person on the planet.

Set our thinking by God's standards. Like, if I get mad at my family because they sin, I can just stone them all to death? Or maybe just drown them. To which Standards are you referring to? The one's he told everyone else to follow? Or the one's he follows himself? Those are 2 different things. And obviously you don't know why God does or doesn't do certain things...... so why can't you just say "I don't know"?
And just because you believe in something which you can't prove to other people outside of a single book that tells you it's real, doesn't mean it's Absolute Truth either. This is a circular argument and you won't get very far by just pointing at your religion and stating it is "Truth". Claims don't mean much.

God is not real, angels are not real, heaven is not real, Satan is not real, demons are not real, hell is not real. There, fixed that for you. Just because you believe with all your heart that they're real, doesn't mean they are.

God shouldn't and doesn't set standards by our thinking... But we all have differing understanding based upon our relationship of who God is.
There is a bias inherent in your question of "set his standards". You see God in a Western Christian model of God as male. That is an interpretation based upon an understanding and rationalized by various evidences. But I, and many, believe that God is gender neutral, and can equally an understanding based upon a rationalized understanding of various evidences.

The only question that I am asking is "Why are you asking a rhetorical question that you promptly make a closed-minded statement about what your best answer is in the next line?"

You got it right! God doesn't set his standards by our thinking, nor will he ever do that. We are not capable of completely understanding his divine plan, bu he is in control!
