4. The reason why you think that if God exists he is an "asshole" is because you don't really understand God much at all. That's why i recommend you read Knowledge of the Holy by A.W. Tozer, not that you should be converted but that you know what the Christian God is, assuming he exists. I think you are (don't take thin the wrong way) ignorant of the subject.

But god is an asshole? If you have read the old testament you will realise that god is (in the words of Richard Dawkins):

"arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust unforiving control freak; a vindicative, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomanical, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevlent bully"

God is one of the biggest most unjust assholes ever!

 I have no idea where you get the fact that he is unjust. Rightfully God has all the right to wipe us out, just as he had all the right to create us.

Anyways God isn't erasing people from existance. All humans were made in the likeness and image of God and as such we are seemingly "Immortal" in the sense that we, our souls, will not die. God is simple yet complex.

He will destroy the wicked. Is that Unjust?

He controls and owns all that he created. Is that Unjust? 

He created a natural order for all things of the Universe and enourages people to follow it. Is that Unjust?

He cures the suffering of pain, and forgives the wicked of sin (if they ask), he avenges the blood of his children and he has given all of humanity immortal souls and the gift of eternal life (if accepted). Is that Unjust?

He created all of the Universe and despises when another idol diety gets credit for God's work. Is that Unjust?

Call God as asshole out of your own profanity and dislike for him sure, but don't call God Unjust. That's not true. An Unjust being is not God.
