Anyone who pays close attention to the Old Testament will see that God is rather rough around the edges - rudely barking rebukes and committing deplorable social faux pas, such as indelicately telling people to kill their children without so much as a perfunctory "please." Clearly, the God of the Old Testament is no one a civil person would have in his home. Jesus, on the other hand, while hardly poised, is so thoroughly pleasant (except to that dreadful mother of His, who was always pestering Him in public for more wine), that one can easily overlook his lack of polish. Every time I find myself wanting to correct Him on some inartfully phrased request or awkward social contretemps, I remind myself "Well, he is rather well behaved for a carpenter."

I agree and also why did he change his attitude from the Old Testament compared to the New Testament.

That's what the said about General George S. Patton but if they would have followed through with his plans we wouldn't have this foreign policy debacle today.
God doesn't need your social approval and He is good with that.
They wanted to throw Jesus off a cliff when He preached His first sermon. Luke ch. 4

Perhaps you can give him a lesson or two. If he becomes a bit more refined in his manner, people may just come to believe in him more.

You're trying to describe the actions of Almighty God from standards made by humans, who are His creation. That's a little weird.

If you truly are a Christian, then you are an arrogant fool.
If you are not, no biggie, you can try to say that to his face, then He sends to you from Hell to the Lake of Fire for not having your name written in the Book of Life.
Who are you to lecture God?
