I don't buy it. And that's why Eru, for me, is not God.

If that makes you believe that Eru is not God, then clearly God as defined by most Christians (and Jews) is not someone that you believe in.
As noted by Mark/Helen, the very things here that seem so incomprehensible in an Eru based on a God of Christian morals are the very same things that occur in our own world that cause so many people to wonder at the existence of God.
So, whether or not you do in fact believe in a real God, this ought to be another proof that Eru is God.
