But there's not even an agreement there between christians. This can be an abusive father, who provided nothing but your existence, some punches and eternal torture threats to go with that, in order to make you fear him. Or it may be a caring and forgiving parent. And every kind of shade in between.
It all depends on perspective and what your environment made you believe. When I was little, as I said, before they reduced the OT to an allegory, I disliked the old guy, but still liked Jesus. I didn't associate the two, but when I was old enough to do it was the moment to question the whole narrative.
