LOL why? Because Jewish god was invented by small tribe of people who were following basic tribal mentality which is "we are better than everyone else" so they automatically invented god that preferred them and destroyed every other tribe (Amalekites, Amorites, the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Per’izzites, the Hivites, the Jeb’usites etc.)
Then after centuries that kind of mentality created a similar god that you have to be in Christian tribe or you'll get tortured forever.
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"
