There is no need to be pissed at God as he obviously didn't make all of those stupid arbitrary rules... (regardless if you believe in God or not)
Two things: Despite this claim that the old testament is a falsehood concocted by men, theists still tend to cherry pick from it the things they like (the commandments, for one. Leviticus, if you're a bigot

And as for god's responsibility for them... could he not- should he not- step in and intervene if he's being misrepresented? His lack of action in this represents, at the very least, a tacit acceptance of all the violence and death the old testament caused.
