[ez2muz]

"...the God of Abraham comes across to me as a demented tyrant who stomps about the earth in bloody murderous tantrums if he is not properly genuflected to.

If such attributes were applied to a human being, people would immediately recognize them as horrific, brutal, and tyranical. And yet when applied to something the call a God, they fall to their feet in worship.
I'll never understand it."

Every time I have read through the Bible, these types of stories always stand out to me. I don't understand it either.

It's like in Wal-Mart; the father who is constantly dogin' his child - waiting for her/him to step out of line then BAM!, down comes the hammer.

I think, "What a troubled, miserable human being. God help that child."

So, while questioning the actions attributed to God, I hope for his influence to help the child.

Kind of hypocritical on my part.

Perhaps the God of Abraham - as depicted in the OT, is not an accurate portrayal of the God of Humanity?

I don't see how it could be... even assuming the existence of God.
