Kyu and padraic I totally agree with you both regarding Dawkins quote on the God of the Old Testament.I often compared him to Hitler and believe that Hitler got some of his ideas from the God of the bible.God was indeed a monstrous tyrant with a blood lust.But you must admit amongst all that blood and gore there are some nice little quotes in the bible about love and so many other things.Now,I too will take one of those t-shirts lol.
Frodo apparently you must be sticking to the New Testament here because the bible is chock full of blood and unjust murders committed either directly by God or commanded by him according to the authors of the books of the OT.The Old Testament does touch on some scientific principles but they are usually wrong.For instance the flat Earth theory comes from an interpretation of scripture.The Earth was also considered the center of the universe where everything revolved around it instead of the sun being in the center and the planets revolving around the sun.
Not to mention some of the things they say Jesus did he would definately have not gotten away with.If he would have really run on the steps of the temple and turned over all those vendors tables I can guarantee that he would have got his holy ass kicked that was the place where those people sold their wares and it was perfectly legal to do so.And the so called words of Christ in the bible are entirely based on hearsay and oral traditions none of the so called authors of the New Testament ever even met Jesus.

There is nothing people will not maintain when they are slaves to superstition
