Not wanting to start a debate, but do you think it possible that because of humanity's free will

And as you can see, we each responded twice to each other. That was it.Discussion not debate.

No, he doesn't. Not only is it rather obvious that he doesn't exist, but even if he did, I think it's hard to claim he loves all of us to the extent you're talking about. If your god would actually exist, he would be the single biggest asshole ever to have existed, solely responsible for the death, misery and suffering of billions of people and creatures. He is not worthy of any reverence, worship or even respect.
With the scale of the universe, any god whose primary concern is humanity is unlikely to be an important one.I paraphrased that, but it gets it across.

Why suffer when the avenue of escape is a free gift?Because a real "god" wouldn't punish those who simply don't believe in him. He's got a pretty big inferiority complex. That would be like me taking offense from an ant on the ground walking across my shoe. The ant exists on a different level of perspective than me, and to it, he's not walking across a shoe belonging to something almost inconveivably massive compared to him. He's just walking, doing his business.I wouldn't step on him for that. I wouldn't punish him for not realizing that he's walking on me. Which returns to my original point. God is a sack of old sacks.

I'm pretty aware of how little god loves me.
