Zeus Vs Elohim

Which would be better: a kind, loving god or a mean, selfish, uncaring god? Most people would say a loving god because they want a god who will care and provide for them, rather than curse them. Throughout history, people have worshiped a variety of gods. Some were loving, and some were not. Two main gods in history were Zeus and the God of the Bible (Elohim).
