That tells me quite clearly the whole god thing is just another story made up by men, especially with the aim of controlling the population, which it has quite well.

You don't have clue about what God cares for and doesn't! I've seen more posts from you
on what God should and shouldn't do more than many Christians here, and the only thing
that you are basing all of your views on is on how you'd do things. Then you run down the
notion of God by doing the very thing you claim believers are doing, bad mouthing God by
the thoughts you have made up about God.
"A real deity would never..." as if you have a stinking clue what a real deity would or would
not do, the one you make up in your mind you can speak for, but the real One you have
no idea.
With respect to how people behave, we do murder and war with one another because we
are a broken race that is our fallen nature. You have gone on and on about why didn't God
stop world wars, why did we start them? Would all of those people that died during those
wars still be alive or would they be dying off for other reasons even now no matter what?
You should look at God as is, not as you make Him up.
