The Old Testament was not a shining example on how man or god should behave. We start off with man's disobeying god. Then Cain kills his brother. This is followed by God having a snit and destroying man with a flood. God then nukes Sodom and Gomorrah. Rebecca helps Jacob deceive Issac, who steals the blessing from Esau. Laban deceives Jacob with his daughter switch. Jospeh's brothers toss him in a pit. God attempts to kill Moses after he commands him to free his people. Moses wanders the desert for 40 years and then God denies him entry into the promise land. Joshua goes on a genocidal rage, commanded by God. Then we have a guy sacrifice his virginal daughter to God. (WTF) Samson lusts after women and kills Philistines at random. Saul attempted to kill David, while David had Uriah killed so he could have his wife. The only reason I see bringing this into government is to make our legislators look saintly.
