SADISTIC:
The jealous and blood-thirsty God of Old Testament was always fond of flesh and blood. He accepted Abel's MEAT sacrifice but rejected Cain's grain. He couldn't think of any decent way for the atonement of
sins. He loved the burnt offerings of pathetic animals.
MASOCHIST:
Finally, he himself become Jesus and tortured and killed in the most gruesme manner being an offering himself.
But he was megalomaniac also. So, He announced this act as--GOD
So LOVED the world(He's so COOL).... etc. and if you don't accept him cool--his sadistic oven is waiting for you.

Don't forget that the Christian religion is based bloody human sacrifice and cannibalism. So it goes beyond just sado-masochism. Then they ask modern thinkers to believe.

Your sadistic argument falls on it's face because you don't understand the story. God rejected Cain's grain offering because Cain offered"some" not the best. And you miss the whole point of the animal sacrifice. Giving up the best animals made them appreciate the importance of the animals.
Your masochist argument is equally stupid because no one would enjoy that. He endured it so that you and I would not have to.
If you don't accept him, that is your choice. Hell is an absence from God and his blessing. If you don't want to be around him that is your decision. Only a coward would blame God for the consequences.

It's a good question presented in a bad way.Why?
Everyone knows there is only one GOD.Then when you asked "your GOD" you included your GOD too.
Then the answer would be obviously neither of them.
What way to ask?
Is JESUS a sadistic or masochist?
For that those who worship him can't answer.But those who research him can answer.So try a better question.
I believe Jesus belongs to GOD too.But what we can do is research about GOD.A true research without biases.

Neither.
It always saddens and amazes me how people can look past all that God has done for them--creating the world, giving them life, etc.-- and find something to complain about. It is we humans who have distanced ourselves from God. He has never turned away from us.
Do not judge that which you cannot comprehend.
Oh, and you were right. He is so COOL! Though I'm sure you didn't sincerely mean that.

nope
Jealous... applies to rightly wanting something that belongs to you
He rightly accepts worship form some and not othes, but he does it looking on their hearts "he who worships God must worship in sprit and in truth" says Jesu sin John 4
It would be egotistical for me to want worship... I dont deserve it and it wouldnt be good for anyone... but God is the most wonderful thing in the universe and man's true joys and desires and best filled in God
He is meriful and he is just.
I like this description of salvation

GOD is GOD. He is what he is. HE might be woman, we dont know. I am christian, but I think of GOD differently. I think of him as a LION, proud and majestic and loving.

Neither, but your prophet is a pedophile and a war monger.
