I want from you as the topic title wants you to explain: how can you worship such mass murderer and overall immoral monster? But it seems you can't and now you're calling "fake news" and "fake Bibles".

Then explain it to me in your scholarly way why is god murdering everybody and commanding people to rape women. This makes you look like you can't and that you're angry at me and trying to attack me ad hominem, like you don't have any arguments and even going so desperate to say I invented those verses. I mean you are dishonest liar and not me.
But the truth is that Christians are very well aware that their god is angry asshole, I mean just look at some hymns like "In Christ Alone" which contains the line "Till on that cross as Jesus died / The wrath of God was satisfied." Indeed that line bothers kind and peaceful people to think they might be worshiping a god of wrath that in 2013 Presbyterian Church in the United States came under criticism when it dropped the song from its hymnbook. It embarrasses them to think the plan of salvation reduces to appeasing the demanding anger of a hot-tempered father.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
