A murder, albeit fictional one, and you're choosing to follow him...a murder of millions, innocent children included, and fanatical enemy of more things than he can even count.
Any decent person would turn their back immediately on someone who murdered even one child. Let alone countless children because he was angry at their parents.
Take the God title away, would you follow a person like that? Absolutely not. Just because one is "God" shouldn't he try to be a "good" God and not kill at all and instead teach and be merciful through and through instead of threaten hell fire for one meager offense? What's the line....with great power comes great responsibility. That kind of God is one who hasn't exercised his power in a very responsible way by spreading that much hatred, violence and murder. Should we teach our kids, the way that God teaches his followers? Threaten to beat them, threaten to kill them if they don't listen, threaten to kill anyone who messes with them?
If God was a person here on earth, he would be in prison, death row even.
