What I hear, too often, is of a God like the school Lunch Lady with an endless counter of food, ranging from the best through ordinary, to Spam and it's cousins and finally to a freshly deposited steaming cow pat. If you've been an inoffensive person, gone to church, and not caused too much fuss, the Lunch Lady gives you a delicious sandwich. Those who made a fuss get a sandwich of an entirely different sort. Such a view of God might teach fear of God, but it won't call forth your spirit to heal a suffering world.
