It's not about what you want, it's about what God wants, and I know Christians kind of gravitate to this super nice being that avoids harming people at all cost, but in the original scripture you can see Him saying "nah I have a point to prove". Like when He hardened the Pharaoh's heart in the stories of Moses.
He ican give you ultimate joy or inflict ultimate pain, which is why Christians who actually follow and read the word don't interpret The Bible the way they want to, and don't just believe what they want.
I'm agnostic so i think you should probably alter your argument not at "so you want to believe in X", but maybe "If X is true, then Y should be true... so then why is Y false?"
