I'm not sure how to answer your question. I'm no stranger to being angry at God ; the real life God, not the Bible God ... more on that.
Due to coming thru fallen men, the Bible God is not the real God. And I do get angry at times because God is depicted in the Bible as not how God is, or was.
It's all a matter of the now, today, God ... not a God from long long ago, from the days when everyone believed they were living on a flat earth ; the Bible comes from the flat earth age, if you will. Can we really expect a accurate depiction of God to come from that age?
Maybe it's just me, but the God I know these days would never flood everyone ; men, women, children, and fetuses, plus all the critters. That depicts God, in the least, as a failing God ; a God that failed in his creation.
If God is God that can't be true. It's a made up legend, influenced by the Epic of Gilgamesh, written 1300 years before Geneses, with its flood story.
So to answer you question, I don't reprimand God, as much as I'm angry at false depictions of God. Which means if it looks like I'm reprimanding God, don't get confused, I'm actually reprimanding a God that's not any more real than Zeus.
