That sounds like either insecurity or a child's temper tantrum, and not something a God who was capable of creating the universe and all of us would stoop to.
If he loves us and can do anything and everything you'd think he'd pick a better way to remind us of his existence than orchestrating the holocaust or allowing some kid to get lit on fire in the name of one of the religions he has allowed to flourish.
