"Seek not to understand that you may believe, but believe that you may understand."
-St. Augustine
i believe that the reason we see God as mean is because we are not up to par with His level of Holiness, so we cannot see how this way of His could be good. Holiness is about perfect purity and perfect justice. we are not even close to His perfection, and His Eternal Knowledge, so we cannot see why he does what He does. as he said in the OT, 'My thoughts are not your thoughts, your ways are not My ways' (i think this is in Ezekiel). He is our Father trying to teach us to be like Him. may we all see one day what His Holiness is because we Are It, we are living His Way. there will be nothing evil at that point. faith is an evolution too. always go forward! don't atrophy.
