Because Abraham got a son he wanted Abraham to kill him, I know it was a test but come on thats sick.
He flooded the place and killed everyone except an old guy just because he didn't like his creation anymore, whats all that about?

You are lost. God is divine. You have fallen victim and a very good example of how Satan gets in the minds of people to twist their thinking and twist scripture. Blasphemy. Do not put the Lord God to the test.

It is your twisting of the Old Testament that is sick, to use your word.
Why do you think God asked Abraham to sacrifice his son ? That Abraham was willing to offer up his own precious and miraculously given son is a picture for us, to foreshadow God's willingness to offer up His only begotten Son to take the just punishment of hell rightly deserved by each of us.
Do you suppose that the people of the ancient world were any greater sinners than we are ? The flooding of the world shows us the extent of our wickedness and the certainty of punishment. As Noah was miraculously saved through the flood so those who follow God's direction and receive God's grace will be safely carried through and raised from death and judgement by the resurrection of Jesus Christ.
Our security rests upon the faithfulness of God who changes not.
That you find The Rock insecure reveals something about you and the extent of your sinfulness and your need. It is not that He needs you, but rather that you need Him. Still His goodness abounds toward you. Is it not churlish of you to despise God's goodness ?
God graciously invites us to reason with Him - Come now and let us reason together, saith the Lord, though your sins be as scarlet they shall be as white as snow, though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool...
...but it is not wise to argue with your Maker nor to presume to judge Him.

Your references would not prove an "insecure" deity, just as they would not prove an "insecure" person.
They would, however, be good references to God NOT being the "nicey, nicey, kindly old man" so often presented by many religious people. These are not the actions of an insecure person.They could be seen, however, as the actions of an all-powerful examiner (Testing,testing...) and a "Hanging judge". One incident was a seemingly harsh test, and the other was a judgement of execution.

Understand the concept, "Who is God" and it would become simpler to understand God Almighty in its entirety.
God Almighty... a cluster of pure energy is but the sum total of all souls (atmans) in the cosmos at a given point of time. The essence of every soul (atman) being the same as God Almighty... every soul is but a minuscule God in its entity.
The moment the big bang occurs... all souls (atmans) existing in the Cosmos spread all over the cosmos with unimaginable speeds. The magnitude and the scale of the big bang are beyond the comprehension of the human beings to visualize. Nothing that exists in the cosmos in energy form can be visualized by the help of the senses and the mind.
This explosion of the big bang results in creation of a new cosmos... a new beginning! After billions of years when some planets become suitable for giving birth to life... the souls start manifesting body after another. And a planet like Mother Earth is born.
Now... what is this big bang theory! The big bang occurs in what! As has been defined above... the definition of God is, "the sum total of all purified souls atmans in the cosmos at a given point of time is what we know as God Almighty".
This cluster of pure energy we know as God accumulates in its absolute pure state only when the dissolution of the Cosmos occurs in its entirety. It is as if a huge cauldron of fire... a massive black hole has reduced the whole of the Cosmos to the size of half a thumb. It is this stage when every single soul atman in the Cosmos in whatever stage of life it may be liberates after gaining enlightenment and salvation. There is just no escape for the collapse of the whole of Cosmos has occurred.
As has been expressed by Mahavira, the 24th Tirthankara of Jainism that souls atmans in whatever stage of life they may be... continue their journey into the next Cosmos exactly from the point where they stood in the earlier manifestation is totally wrong. This is where the teachings of Jainism are flawed.
Bhagavad Gita... the sacred doctrine of Lord Krishna distinctly clarifies this point. And it is logical that when the collapse of the entire cosmos occurs... the question of souls remaining in their position as such and transitioning into the next Cosmos after the big bang occurs is but a flawed parable that defies all reasoning and logic.
The point of difference where Mahavira went wrong in understanding the teachings of Bhagavad Gita! The reason why Jainism branched into a new thinking pattern as advocated and doctored by Bhagwan Mahavira (the 24th and last Tirthankara of Jainism) is evidenced here.
This cluster of pure energy... the sum total of all purified atmans in the Cosmos equals half the size of a thumb as has been clearly spelt out in the Bhagavad Gita... the most sacred doctrine put forward by Lord Krishna in the battlefield of Mahabharata.
Unable to contain itself for long... this enormous source of pure energy explodes with a big bang giving birth to a new cosmos... a new journey! God Almighty is the source and the cause of the big bang. This theory of creationism is unpalatable by Scientists all over the world. Why? Science demands proofs and in the kingdom of God... it is absolute faith (in the system of God) that rules. More on who is god here- http://www.godrealized.org/god/who_is_god.html

I like testing cool due pacificst Mulsims, I go for the soft white underbelly until they pull out their sword and show their violent side.
I have yet to find one Muslim who won't draw a sword on you.
So much for the religion of peace.

Totally sick, man. The Old School God was an insecure, abusive, violent, murderous villian. He killed everybody on the planet and then gave us a rainbow in return. What a trade!
Still, it isn't God that I can't understand, my man- it's Christians. These people who profess to follow the Prince of Peace and yet their God is Vengeance incarnate! I just can't fathom how it seems to make perfect sense to them.

God has a reason for everything he does, and it does happen for reason. Have more of an open mind, try to thin about it that way.

If God was insecure He would not have given us free choice but always obey him like little robots
