I have often wondered the same thing. But God is good and does not condone violence or vengence. However, if he does not condone vengence why does he punish? And why in the bible did he punish all mankind for one action of one? Or was that Adam and Eve story just an add on and not an actual event? Why would he let his own son be killed? Why were so many wars fought for religion, why would God allow that?

No, they are not the same at all.
Remember that anything 'man-made' will fail, break, interrupt, postpone, mess up, etc... So why would anyone want to put faith in these things? No answer ever given has satisfied me to a point of understanding.
God is Good! God is Great! God is the only One to be adored! God is Worshiped! God is Honored! God is the Great I AM! God is Light, Truth, Hope, Grace, & Love.
The devil is the opposite.
The devil's army is openly rebelling against God, Israel & the United States because they are jealous of our standards of life and the money we have as a nation, and because the world over time has put the USA into the position of 'watchdog' over the world and they don't like that either. They are mad because God blessed Israel and not them (Sounds like a bunch of kids in day care).
Hope this helps.
God Bless You!

I'm glad you've done your research. Maybe you should look at how violent Christians have been through the ages. Just look at the Spanish Inquisition for a humbling example of our own culture's "work of animals."
By the way, if we're not animals, what do you propose we are? Given your intelligence, I'd say you think we're reptiles, possibly prokaryotes.

If we have God at plus hundred then the power of Satan is also at minus hundred.
You need to read all to understand that both are different sides of the same coin-
The whole Cosmos ... everything contained in the Cosmos ... all galaxies, stars is but the size of half a thumb at the beginning of the Cosmos (and also at the time of the pralaya ... end of the Cosmos). No human being can ever conceptualize the massive energy this half the size of a thumb carries. At the time of Pralaya (end of the Cosmos) ... everything whatever is contained in the Cosmos collapses ... and the whole system is reduced to the size of half a thumb.
And what is the meaning of this half the size of a thumb as stated in Bhagavad Gita (the doctrine dictated by Lord Krishna to Arjuna in the battlefield of Mahabharata). Does it mean that this half the size of a thumb which comprises of only pure energy ... the combined power of all the Atmans souls in the Cosmos is related to God ... Yes, this defines what God, in the Almighty Creator is all about. We can safely define God, the Almighty Creator as the collective power of all purified Atmans in the beginning of the Cosmos ... the Parmatman aka Brahman in Hinduism ... the power of the Creator.
Bhagavad Gita states that by default ... in whatever stage they may be ... all the Atmans souls at the time of pralaya come to their 8.4millionth manifestation ... the last goal of cosmic life. The journey having ended for every Atman the soul within ... all Atmans souls at the time of pralaya (end of the Cosmos) get liberated from the cycle of Birth and Death forever. It is free for all. All Jivas attain Moksha Salvation. One may be in the stage of the mosquito; a plant, animal and all Human Beings ... all attain Moksha Salvation.
After the pralaya (end of the Cosmos) occurs ... all Atmans (after their purification) combine together and this is what the half the size of a thumb is all about. This massive source of energy is unable to retain itself. God explodes with a Big Bang (the theory of Big Bang was being disputed by scientists for hundreds of years ... it is only about 30 years before that a consensus was built confirming formation of the Cosmos by Big Bang). The scientific system needs proof.
All god realized souls ... be they Buddha, Mahavira, Jesus Christ, prophet Mohammed, RamaKrishna Paramhansa and Maharishi Ramana ... all knew this absolute truth. But kept mum in the matter ... they knew very well that the masses would not believe in the concept, as the scientific society required proof and Spiritual masters never have one.
Spiritual masters ... man gods ... god realized souls ... know the absolute truth yet, why face the axe unnecessarily ... if they can avoid it. It is only faith in the system of God that proofs are always not necessary in the Spiritual realm. The smell of a flower can always be felt but if the scientific society demands a proof then none on Mother Earth can show one the smell. Yes, it can be felt ... we all can feel the smell of a flower and the society has indirectly got a proof ... it believes the concept.
After the occurrence of the Big Bang ... all Atmans souls contained in half the size of a thumb ... scatter all over the Cosmos. In the process they accumulate impurities. Now nature (matter) also has a role to play. It is only after merging with nature (matter) ... all Atmans are required to proceed on their cosmic journey ... a journey of 8.4 million manifestations ... a total of 96.4 million years. A long journey indeed. These purified Atmans accumulate the dross while merging into the wide expanse of the Cosmos (the matter).
If we rollout a drop of nectar in the vast expanse of the Cosmos ... then after it has traveled considerable distance it would not remain a drop ... it will become a massive ball ... any size depending on how far it has traveled. Impurities will attach themselves to this drop of nectar and this drop will go on increasing in size. If we presume that this drop of nectar is a pure Atman soul in the initial stages of the Big Bang ... then this massive ball before it comes back to its original size of a drop will have to pass through a total of 8.4 million manifestations (96.4 million years of cosmic life).
Here I shall explain in detail how an Atman the soul within ... frees itself forever from the cycle of Birth and Death. We must always remember that the sum total of the Cosmos at any stage has always to remain zero. If we have God at plus hundred then the power of Satan is also at minus hundred. We have fire ... we also have water. We have plus ... and also a minus. We have day ... we also have a night. As the sum total of anything must always remain zero ... it is the positive power of the combined Atmans souls in the Cosmos that ultimately govern the system.
Had it not been so ... we would have seen Adharma (lawlessness) dominating the society. It is not that Adharma (lawlessness) does not take control of the society ever... it does, but only for shorter periods of time. Eventually ... comes a Lord Krishna or a Bhagwan Kalki ... to relieve us all of the ills prevalent in the society. More here- http://www.vijaykumar.com/purpose_of_life.html

I could give a protracted answer to this question but you might think I was trying to draw a circle, sadly.
God is LOVE
everything that genuinely comes from God is good
that sums up my belief system. does that answer?
