He destroys his own creation rather than teach (Sodom and Gomorra). Even kills a woman running away from Sodom and Gomorra for being neurotic. He doesn't stress how important something is and then banishes you for not knowing (Adam and Eve). Asks a father to kill his own son for no good reason (Abraham). Drowns the world of non-believers out of his infinite compassion (Noah’s Ark).
All the Bible really says is if you keep your head down and do as you’re told, you’ll be rewarded in the end for being such a good sheep. It teaches us to be a possession of God, a pawn, instead of tolerance and understanding. How about reading Steinbeck or Hemingway? I mean why would you even want to go to Heaven if you had to worship this bloodlust God? Life was hard back then when the Bible was being written so of course people imagined God was all these things, but now in this day an age, it corrupts people's potential to learn more, willingness to read books and watch tearjerker movies, etc...
