Not surprising. Believers will mold their god to reflect their own inner nature. Christians seem to see Jesus as a glorified vision of themselves. That's why Jesus is liberal and conservative, authoritarian and a rebel, gay, straight, bi and celibate, black and white, etc. What Jesus is to them often says more about them than anything else.
It's a bit like dreams reflecting one's own state of mind.
So if someone conjures a nasty, angry, vengeful god, that can't be a good indication of one's state of mind.
