But for the person who took the time to hand you their pebble, it seems outrageous that you can't handle that one tiny thing.

People who think of God as righteous are likely to emphasize righteousness themselves, just as those who think of God as compassionate are likely to emphasize compassion. People who think God is angry at the world are likely to be angry at the world themselves.
