Did you know that your view of God, whatever it is, is intimately related to your view of your father? If you had a demanding, perfectionist dad, that always encouraged you to be and do better, made sure to point which subjects you should work harder and not easily expressed contentment for the things that you did and for who you were, you are more likely to think of God as boss, ready to fire you anytime, usually displeased with your life, continually focusing on your mistakes.
If your father was passive, not frequently present (physically or emotionally), not a relationship seeker, not big at expressing love, or pretty much any feelings, if he was the quiet kind of guy, giving you the silence treatment and if you used to feel ignored by him, that probably explains your concept of God: somebody that does not care about you.
However, if you had a good daddy, that showed love without looking 1st at your grades, that pursued an open relationship, that talked to you and played with you, your vision of God is probably like that.
Unfotunately, not many people have or had the nice happy daddy. All families are dysfunctional at some level and no human being is perfect, so it is very easy for us to develop bad expectations towards God. The good thing though is that the truth is that GOD IS GOOD AND HE UNCONDITIONALLY LOVES EACH ONE OF US. He is not angry, not wanting to kill us, but He is seeking us, and his deep desire is to have a close relationship with us, so He can show us, in a very personal way, how much he loves us.

Ehhh, I'd like to know where you got information concerning this, it seems weird but my father is very reserved and I don't see him as anything horrible but nothing to worship either, my father is more of a perfectionist, one of those, "Do as I say not as I do" and I don't see God as anything like that. My father is a bit of a racist and he is reserved, he has stong opinions and if you boarder against him he'll let you know. I really don't believe anyone can see God as their father when God is above their father, it's probably possible, I can give you that but I don't believe that people automatically think of God as something like their father.

I like where you are trying to go with this- but it is very one sided. My main goal is to share with everyone that your relationship between God is personal. You should look at it as if you were meeting your best friend for the first time. Would you let your relationship with your dad determine how your relationship with your friends will be? Anyway-good for you for trying to think from a different point of view- I hope that you will take my opinion and think about that too. God should be considered as a friend who loves you, not an authority figure.
