Christians celebrate rape, torture, slavery and genocide.

Sure it does - cognizance to do so, or want to do so at least. You have to have the capacity for one to do the other, and the one implies you have the brains to do the other, if not the technology.

Also, God apparently only judged and punished a select group of people in the deserts of the Middle East, conveniently forgetting about a bunch of other people all around the world who had better judgement than he. Sometimes society has to evolve as much as brain size.

Although I find it interesting that Abraham argued with God over how many good people a city had to hold for God to stay his hand in punishing the wicked and innocent alike. Was Abraham already moving in wisdom past his master? I can't remember - did that happen before or after Isaac? I'd consider a being who wanted to kill my kid for the hell of it a sketchy as fuck character who probably needed mood stabilizers.

I didn't say people had to be as powerful as god, so quit putting words in my mouth. People with lesser technologies but decent understanding can still wreck a lot of havoc.
