Is God particularly fierce?

Is God a fierce being? It occurred to me that perhaps why God does not stop "evil" is because it is just an expression of His fierce nature. Earth is a very fierce place....wars, earthquakes, accidents etc. Perhaps earth's fierceness is only indicative of God's (and our own) fierceness?

God is obviously very pure. Perhaps His purity is like a fire to us?

Look out behind you!. A fierce God is on your trail. Just about to catch you ………… and love you to death!

Much more than just that. If you take into account all the atrocities he committed you will pretty much have something that defines a sadistic bloodthursty psychopath. If they were to make more MCU movies after Endgame they should make God the villain. He makes Thanos look like a humble choirboy.

I do see what you mean, but if you consider that you yourself are part and parcel of this God. It is difficult to be someone else entirely. We are all bound into the same reality.

Another thing one needs to consider is; who do you think all these things are happening to? It is like God is the victim as well as the culprit. Perhaps He is suffering at the expense of His own violence?

I suppose it all depends on which version of God is the true one. God 1.1 (aka the god of christianity) or God 1.2, better known as the 'New Age' god. Let's just hope there's a 2.0 update with better improvements than the previous ones. I doubt the 1.1 version suffers from his own mistakes, because he's just too proud for that.

Cause and effect is not fierce, it is just what it is

But there are more then two links to most of those chains. Cause leads to effect with becomes a cause to the next effect and so on. It is perhaps where those chains lead that is important.

Cause and effect goes on to infinity.

Perhaps, and I suppose it branches infinitely many times along the way as well. In fact I suspect it branches infinitely many times at each link. Yet, as I follow along it, from my viewpoint it seems like one smooth continuous chain.
It is sort of like a road trip in which I take turn after turn at intersection after intersection. Without a map I seem to wonder aimlessly without ever knowing or arriving at any destination (though I may be in a hurry to get there none the less ). Yet the road always leads to at least one thing, the experience of the journey.
