According to Christian (and Jewish) lore, it's downright petulant, dangerous and murderous... If such a thing existed, then it should be tried for rimes against humanity, and summarily executed...

Serve the devil then
Jhn 8:44 Ye are of [your] father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.

I liked "rimes" against humanity better lolol. Even misspelled.
Three and only god? LOL!! now That was good. I needed to laugh, thanks. :-)
Personally, I believe that God has a lot to answer for, and I intend to be right there asking the questions at first opportunity, because I just do not understand so much of the horrible things that go on in this world, except to rationalise it under the concept of reincarnation (which Judaism has always had) and this being the place where we "burn off" the blemishes we have caused to our souls in our previous lifetimes. I do believe that is what this place is. It's the only explanation I can come up with. And it has some basis in Jewish teaching, which describes the place for this as having snow, mountains, rivers, lakes, fields, deserts, etc. Sounds like this earth if ever there was a place.
Luckily for me, being Jewish, we are commanded to KNOW God, and for us this means constantly questioning God and DEMANDING answers even, we will argue logic and compassion, and all manner of things with God, which to an athiest must look rather insane, but who cares. We've never been taught to sit there and accept without questioning, so we don't. It's our heritage.
So, God will have plenty of questions to be answering, yes.

Hear hear. Same goes for our President, but here in America the majority seem to enjoy losing their freedoms to fight a war in which we negate the freedoms of others. Sounds a bit like the Bible God, doesn't it?
Supposedly Bible God is all about grace in the N.T. - the Old Testament was written prior to the birth of Jesus (God's multiplication of himself) and the God there was a vicious, evil, infanticidal nutjob. Then, somehow, though God is omnipotent and omniscient, he decided to put a stop some of the horror and send his human form out amongst the earthlings, wearing sandals and beads and preaching peace. You MAY ask, well, why didn't forever God just do that from the beginning, why the reign of terror? And you may ask why God would then call himself his son and predestine that he would be killed in an unimaginably terrible way, just to save us all from the sins we commit - if we believe. I mean, remember all those children he had killed in the O.T. What was it, like 42,000 at one time? Why couldn't one of THEIR deaths be the one that would allow for grace and mercy (from God, of course who up to this point had been graceless & merciless)? Better yet, you may ask why a benevolent God would ever create pure evil. Free choice, my a*se. If God was benevolent he wouldn't have created us with the characteristics of malice and evil but with the free will to do whatever we wanted without causing severe damage to others. We could traverse the universe (why hide it from us - it's so vast a lifetime would only be the beginning), travel, work, learn, live, be happy and do it all with the interests of others at heart just because we WANT to be moral. Will there be a rotten apple in every bunch? Sure. Range of emotions is fine. Keeping evil out of it is what I would consider benevolent. You may ask why God, who created all and sundry supposedly, was a misanthrope amongst his own creations. Why not create something you enjoy? And then you may ask yourself, well... how did I get here?

Comfort yourself in the knowledge that indeed, the Thrice Goddess exists, and wants only the best for you, love. *Tosses cookies everywhere* Oops, sorry Socratic Pig. Got a wee bit on your snout there. *Wipes Piggy's snout with severed arm* Better?

I even went so far to look up the chapter in the bible, and wow I must have skipped right over that before. God does claim to punish the Egyptian gods, thereby accepting them as real and contradicting that the bible god is the one true and only god. I can not believe I did not see that before lol.

Hehe, rimes against humanity.
"Look out Satan I'm gonna move past ya"
"Step back fool, I'll see you at the Rapture"
A misanthrope is someone who doesn't fit into society or looks upon it with disdain right? Damn, you're testing me with these words man.
Ok, it would seem fair to execute him, but if he was omnipotent then he's his own judge and jury, isn't he?

I think it should be tried for rhymes and limericks.
