1. Push the Anti-Thesis
In the atheist's own worldview, we are an psychosomatic illusions of consciousness caused by physical neurons firing in a particular way. Why does a bunch of neurons firing in a particular way care about the "suffering" of bunch of other neurons firing in a particular way, but far removed from it geographically and chronologically? Biological machines with neurons only existing to spread its "selfish genes" have no spirit to be offended against. A bunch of those blobs of neurons in the ancient past had pain receptors go off. So what?
Atheism has no absolute and personal moral standard that also provides absolute and exhaustive efficacy and enforcement of that moral standard to be universal. The atheist has no logical and necessary claim to call anything or anyone "immoral and cruel" because both are moral statements that require that absolute, universal standard to mean anything from one conscious spirit to the next. Remember, you, he, and I are only physical neurons firing in specific sequence and nothing more, supposedly. That cannot, necessarily, provide any such universal standard whatsoever.
The atheist is stealing theological and philosophical capital from God and Christendom whenever the atheist and like religions make any moral claim or claim about God's, Christ', and Christians' morality or lack there of. Never let him.
Finally, God's morality or immorality has nothing to do with the fundamental tenet of atheism that He does not exist. Supposing that omnipotent God very well could be "cruel and immoral", capricious, and lying about His self-claim of absolute goodness (that's not possible at all and is blasphemous but humor me), relatively applying a standard, what is the atheist going to do about it? There's an abundance of evidence of God's existence and the resurrection of Christ, establishing Christ' deity, among other fundamental beliefs of Christianity. What is comes before what ought. Unlike the foolish servant in Matthew 25:24-27, the atheist is better off starting to ass kiss God in any way possible before a worse fate befalls him, if he had any inkling of truth to that "immoral" or ambiguous morality claim. Being like an infant who covers his eyes and thinks his parents don't exist or cannot see him, the atheist's atheism will not stop the Lord from doing whatever He pleases.
