"The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."

And he has a point , Can anyone think of a worse character ???

Don't worry, I know pretty much how long a thread re. PC would last.

Ya know..... freedom of speech an' all that?!

Re. your OP though.... surely to claim those are the attributes of (a) God would be to deem that (a) God existed?

I think it's interesting, that in the Bible God is killing lots of people, but Satan doesn't kill anyone.

You really need to stop trying to defend God,U just make it worse and the God u serve is not the true God I serve,He is not a killer.Try reading the new testament it competely changes fron law to grace.

Well, there's a question as to authorship.

Do you think that the God who created the whole world world and everything and everybody on it, inspired one small extremely xenophobic clan to represent him through its writings,
or
Do you think that that xenophobic clan wrote their own ideas and assigned charteristics to God that really came out of their own very corrupted hearts?

You try reading the new testament , then you will realise that Jesus endorses the old one in it’s entirety several times
