and this god actually demands my love and trust, then I would be in trouble -- love and trust are things that are earned,
​
So the very person that gave you the ability to love and trust, you wouldn't. Interesting.

I've made the decision to live my life regardless of whether or not God exists. Simply due to...well, look at the state of the world, not much happiness, cheer and goodwill to go around; at least not what you would expect if a benevolent God was in charge.
​
The bible doesn't promise a smooth ride here on earth, in fact it says the opposite. So there should be no surprises for you.
​
You will, however, feel loved.

But God also would've given the ability to distrust, and a universe that doesn't reward gullibility.
​
Looks to me like a stupidity filter.
​
I am not sure what you mean by that.
