Well that's true and I'm aware that god is portrayed as a loving kind father of everything (so long as you do as he expects, that is). And it kind of makes sense, if you're going to worship something, you'd want it be something benevolent with good protector vibes.

But, it's quite obvious from the war and misery we experience that if god's job is to keep us happy, he ain't very good at it. I think, if there is any force out there that can (in the broadest sense) be called a "god," it is probably far from benevolent and very far removed from what we do on earth day to day. So instead of "in god we trust," I prefer to think "I trust in other people and myself." I mean, ultimately it's on us to create the kind of world we live in no matter what.
