Um, the "Bible God" is forgiving, I don't know where you read differently. I trust the Bible 100% anyway. God will forgive anyone, they just need to give him a chance.

"The day of the Lord is near, the day when the Almighty brings destruction. What terror that day will bring!"
-Joshua 1:15
"The Lord roars from Mount Zion; his voice thunders from Jerusalem. The pastures dry up, and the grass on Mount Carmel turns brown."
-Amos 1:2
"The Lord God tolerates no rivals; he punishes those who oppose him. In his anger he pays them back. The Lord does not easily become angry, but he is powerful and never lets the guilty go unpunished. Where the Lord walks, storms arise; the clouds are the dust raised by his feet! He commands the sea, and it dries up! He makes the rivers go dry. The fields of Bashan wither, Mount Carmel turns brown, and the flowers of Lebanon fade. Mountains quake in the presence of the Lord; hills melt before him. The earth shakes when the Lord appears; the world and all its people tremble. When he is angry, who can survive? Who can survive his terrible fury? He pours out his flaming anger; rocks crumble to dust before him."
Nahum 1:1-6
Now, I'd continue quoting the Bible, but I have to go to the clinic about my eye here.
Anyways, what
I think God is, is entirely different. God is nature. She is all around us, breathing just like us. With us at all times. She is the air, the water, the ground beneath our feet, and she is compassionate, but she has been hurt.
