Still, he acts in a similar fashion to a parent; his creation can't appreciate something's importance, so he takes away her ability to experience it hoping she'll learn her lesson. However, when she doesn't learn her lesson and instead makes things worse, he's forced to leave her behind and have his brother clear the world of the evil she spread (akin to something like the Great Flood). Even then, he still wants to give humanity a second chance and likely still wants Salem to return to him. So Id' say no, he does love his creations and can't bring himself to hurt them, but wants to do anything so they'll return to the side of light and loyalty.
