You must first understand the Creator, who is the Absolute Goodness. Meaning that there is no way in the world that He will ever cause any sorrow to any man. And this we take to be the first concept, for our common sense clearly shows that the basis for any evil doing in the world stems only from the Will to Receive.
That means that his eagerness to benefit himself makes him harm his fellow man, due to his Will to Receive self gratification. Thus, if no being would find contentment in itself, no being would ever harm another. And if we sometimes find some being that harms another, without any Will to Receive self gratification, it does that only because of an old habit, that originated in the will to receive, which now rids it of the need to find a new reason.
And because we realize that the Creator is in and of itself complete and needs no one to help Him to completion, since He precedes everything else, it is therefore clear that He does not have any Will to Receive. And because He has no Will to Receive, a reason for Him to harm anyone is fundamentally absent; it is as simple as that.
Furthermore, it is completely agreeable to our mind as the first concept, that He possesses a will to Bestow goodness to others, meaning to His creatures. And that is evidently shown by the great creation that He has created and set before our eyes. For in this world there are beings that necessarily feel either good or bad, and that feeling necessarily comes from the Creator. And once it is absolutely clear that there is no aim to harm in the nature of the Creator, it necessitates that the creatures receive only goodness from Him, for He has created them only to bestow upon them.
Thus we learn that He has but a Will to Bestow goodness, and in no way can it be that there might be any harmfulness in His domain. Hence we have defined Him as the absolute goodness. And after we have learned that, let us take a look at the reality that is guided by Him, and how He bestows only goodness upon them.

Nope I made the same choice. That stupid judgmental, punishing God does not deserve worship.
I much prefer the real unconditionally loving God over the impostor God.

Yeah, He's neither vain nor tyrannical.
He only wants you to worship him because it is good for you to say how good he is.
He only wants to torture those who don't because it is good for their souls. Spare the rod, spoil the child.

Perhaps you have yet to "meet" the right One...
Keep searching and seeking in the depths of your heart with the HOPE of finding the Good and Merciful God.
Hallelujah!
Peace be with you.

You have made him this in your mind as an excuse not to worship him.
