"Our Bible reveals to us the character of our God, with my remorseless exactness. The portrait is substantially that of a man, if one can imagine a man charged, and overcharged, with evil impulses far beyond the human limit. His acts expose his vindictive, unjust, ungenerous, pittiless, and vengefull nature, constantly. He is always punishing, punishing innocent children for the misdeeds of their parents, punishing unoffending populations for the misdeeds of their rulers. It is perhaps the most damnatory biography that exists in print, anywhere. It makes Nero an angel of light, by contrast." - Mark Twain
Also please tell me which version of the bible you are reading from, King James Version, Revised Standard Version, or whatever.
