The whiny adolescent says "I want to do it my way" while a loving God says "I am the way".

And if you either don't do it His way, or refuse to believe that it even is His way He throws you into a lake of fire for all of eternity. He is only loving when worshipped.

Petulant.

""Petulant."

"Jealous", I think is the word you are looking for.

"He throws you into a lake of fire for all of eternity. He is only loving when worshipped."

No, He will be worshiped whether He is loved or not. He tells you if you refuse the salvation offered what the alternative is. There should not be any complaint from those that don't want to spend eternity with Him. He won't force the issue, it's your choice.

Re 170: The Bible is a poor source of morality, too.

The Bible teaches immoral things, cruelty towards children is shown again and again. This undermines the ethical foundations of The Bible.

Exodus 20:5 "I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me."

Lev. 26:22 "I will also send wild beasts among you, which shall rob you of your children..."

Num 31:17 "Now therefore kill every male among the little ones."

Prov 20:30 "Blows that wound cleanse away evil; strokes make clear the innermost parts." NIV version: Prov 20:30 "Blows and wounds cleanse away evil, and beatings purge the inmost being."

Ezek 9:6 "Slay utterly old and young, both maids and little children."

1 Sam. 15:3 "...slay both man and woman, infant and suckling."

Deut. 28:53 "And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters."
