If I were going to create a social structure that would require absolute, blind obedience to authority I'd write certain portions of the bible to define God the way you see Him. If you absolutely believe in the God of the bible, one could see Him the way you do.
But consider that perhaps He is not quite as cruel and vindictive as you describe. I mean, think about the billions He would condemn for the sin of never having even heard of Jesus...even before He was born. Maybe He's different than that.
People are often dogmatic about God...what He likes; what He doesn't like. I just like to think God has got more going than what we're often told. I think God is about love, balance, justice, and the quest for some higher purpose. Is this some bizarre new age stuff? I doubt it, but I'll be accused of that.
Simply put, there's a chance God is not quite as bad as you describe Him. At least, I certainly hope so.
