Hmm...Where do you get that idea? It's not mentioned in the Scriptures anywhere that I can find.

The Gospel of Thomas and other "lost gospels" which were left out of the version of the Bible which emerged from the Council of Nicea present a very different view of God. According to some of them, the god of Genesis was a lesser god, and a rather petty one at that. These gospels present the view of a God beyond this one.
Personally, I have always wondered at the seemingly human frailties of a god who is cruel, judgemental, jealous, demanding of adoration and obedience while at the same time being responsible for setting the whole cruel process in motion. It is interesting to me that some of the writings that were left out of the Christian scriptures actually address this very idea.
