If God really is love he would manage to bestow love without setting a price on it or committing violence in its name or demanding the impossible from his children.

God is not demanding the impossible....
I think you are sadly mistaken about God....
Jesus died for our sins...all you have to do is believe it and receive the free gift of eternal life...
Sounds like a deal to me.

God does not demand the impossible from anyone. Tell me, what commandment given in the bible is impossible to do?
But God is not love...at least not in the sense that you apparently think love is. Love does not mean having unlimited tolerance of everything.
A loving parent insists on and enforces discipline in their children. Even the most lax parent has some rules. A parent ceases to be a parent when no rules are the rule.

God is a God of Love. God is also Holy & Just.
The wages of sin is death, but the gift (free) of God is eternal life through faith.
Jesus told us to Love God with all our being and to love others as ourselves. Also to love our enemies and do good to those who dispitefully use us and & bless them who curse us.
Jesus said that if our burden is heavy, to yoke up with Jesus because His burden is light and His yoke is easy.
God will not let us be tempted (by the adversary) above what we can resist, but makes a way out. God isn't the one who tempts us to rebel against God or disobey Him.

Good thing Christianity doesn't involve a God with any of those qualities. The one true God is loving.

God is mind control. God is a shared hallucination. Which man made up this ''god''? It's arrogant to think that this god, -that we made up, created the Universe, the Universe is a big place you know, and we are not the only civilization that exist's in it.
