From my life experience, it seems like he's very,very angsty. A global flood just to teach us right? The burden of sin for the rest of humankind just because of Adam and Eve ate a FRUIT because they were tempted by Satan (who GOD HIMSELF apparently created)?
Wouldn't it have been smarter to sit down and talk things out instead of going right to mass murder?
A plagues, droughts, floods, and famines? Is this how God spreads his holy love?

God doesn't spread his love through these terrible things. .There are things in the environment that we simply have not managed to control yet. He tells us to subdue the earth. We're slow.
Secondly we deal with "sin". If we are told not to drive at 100 miles an hour as it dangerous and someone might get hurt. Can we blame God if someone does? Can we blame God if someone has not got enough experience in driving and hits someone car.
Happy Saint Patrick's Day!

Has he done anything to you like a plague of locusts, sink holes, famine, and yet you show a total displeasure with him.
As far as Adam and Eve, lets see, the snake was Satan, but he was smart enough not to eat, God was taking a break trying to create other things, and besides he only askes A&E to not do ONE thing, yet they did it, how stupid.
Maybe you should take a philosophy class, or even a logic class.
He couldn't sit down with them to talk it over. While they were eating the apple God was in the process of making furniture and hadn't gotten to chairs yet.

God is Holy and perfect. If you are willing to blame what you think are bad things on God-surely He was in power for all your blessings as well. Don't flaunt your ignorance by talking smarts with God. Even when God allows someone to die in this world-so what? Everything belongs to God-even you! You are breathing right now because God wills it. People do die in this life-but it is only temporary. God took out His anger (which is just) on Christ on the cross. Now we can have a relationship Him-which is awesome. For God being "Angry" He sure displays patience with you. he gives life and you complain-He offers you heaven and you complain about the weather. God forgive and bless you.

I agree with you. If this supernatural being loves humanity so much, why does he/she puts us through all this crap? Maybe this god person is a child and demands attention. And when it does not get the attention it wants, it throws a tamtrum. I mean, your examples are right on. If it wanted to teach us a lesson, talk with us and show us that you care. If my daughter acts up, I'm not gonna summon locusts unto her and make her break out in blisters. No. I'm gonna talk with her and set her straight, cause I love her.

Since God is omnicient, He doesn't need to take classes in anything or get "smarter" about anything. People seem to forget that God is God and He can do anything He wants. His ways are not our ways. Woe to those of us who would rather complain about Him than listen.

YES. My goodness, couldn't he have just killed the people that disobeyed, not all humankind?
God needs a time out.

According to Revelations he does. Some prozac might do him some good too.
