If I were to use any god as a source for my beliefs, I would defiantly not use the Christian god, or at least take the Xtian god in a literal sense.
Here’s why.
Biblegod has slaughtered the firstborn children of the Egyptian nation.
Joshua 7:15
He kills all the living beings on earth except for a few.
Genesis 6:7, 17
He sends 2 virgins to get raped by a mob.
19:7-8
And many more brutal things done by this Biblegod can be read in Genesis. I would say more, but I have to go buy some groceries in a few minutes.
Before you blame God, you might want to actually read some of the verses you quote. There is no indication that God condoned Lot’s action in trying to send his daughters out to appease the mob. That was entirely Lot’s idea and if you read more about Lot you will find that he often made bad choices which had some terrible consequences. Further, God’s angels acted supernaturally to blind the mob and prevent anyone from being injured. So, your last point is completely bogus.
I have no argument with your argument, but do correct misspelled word in your tagline.
Is it moral for a creator to destroy his creation? From the perspective of the created, probably not. From the perspective of the creator, if he brought something into existence he can remove it from existence just as easily.
If one does not believe in a creator, then the whole thought question is probably moot.
If I were to use any god as a source for my beliefs, I would defiantly not use the Christian god, or at least take the Xtian god in a literal sense.

So what are your beliefs and what is the source of them?
“If I knew God I’d be Him.”
The Christian God does give you the freedom to make that choice.
Here’s why. Biblegod has slaughtered the firstborn children of the Egyptian nation.
Well that is what happened after Pharaoh said in Exodus 5:2 ...."Who is the LORD, that I should obey His voice to let Israel go? I know not the LORD, neither will I let Israel go." Not quite the painting you picture with your slaughtered, paint job.
Joshua 7:15
".....And it shall be, that he that is taken with the accursed thing shall be burnt with fire, he and all that he hath: because he hath trangressed the covenant of the LORD, and because he hath wrought folly in Israel''"
Now the burnt with fire = burnt up, but not necessarily alive, check out the meaning of the Hebrew word used.
Once again not quited what picture you attempt to paint, because those of Israel under that covenant were WARNED not to be playing with heathen gods.
He kills all the living beings on earth except for a few. Genesis 6:7, 17
Well again you leave out the reason, found in Genesis 6:2 That the sons of God saw the daughters of the Adam that they were fair; and they took them wives of all which they chose.
He sends 2 virgins to get raped by a mob. 19:7-8
Outright LIE. Lot offered up his own daughters NOT the Heavenly Father and the brutes were NOT interested in the daughters but the male house guests.
And many more brutal things done by this Biblegod can be read in Genesis. I would say more, but I have to go buy some groceries in a few minutes.
Maybe your grocery shopping was more successful than your unlearned and ignorant attempt in describing the Scripture.
You write of things you seem to have so little knowledge about. Suggest you study to prove yourself worthy.
And why exactly do you think they are brutal?
I would suggest that you actually read the Bible so you can effective argue you points.
Of course, far better man have attempted to do such a thing and have been converted by the Logos out of their arrogance and pride
