So, if I understand you correctly, if we accept Jesus we can do anything, even pick up stickson Sunday, and god won't be angry with us? Jesus did away with the old laws. Apparently fulfill means 'seriously alter' to him. I could ask why Yahweh arbitrarily decided he had to kill off his son, rather than just waive the impossible requirements directly, but I know I would not get a satisfactory answer.

Jesus is not necessarilly immoral. If he were the son of god (and also god...somehow) this would either mean that he has a split personality, or changes his mind.

If I'm not allowed to cherry pick from the Bible, then neither are atheists.Angry at whom? There are a few instances where god is angry at the israelites and brings doom upon them. I'm not referring to that (though he does get 'angry' over some pretty petty things, like picking up sticks on a Sunday). God must be 'angry' an awful lot then, considering that the book of Joshua is one big slaughter fest in his name, topped off with some survivor enslaving. God is nice to his (arbitrarily) chosen people, he kills everybody else.
