God of the bible killed first borns, incited massacres, left his own son to be tortured to death, turned people into pillars of salt just for looking in the wrong direction ! Killed moses just before reaching the promise land because he tapped a stick the incorrect amount of times, plagued people, drowned people including women and children. He put an apple in a garden specifically to test humans so that later he could punish them with pain and toil, working in the fields, he's like Stalin and Hitler combined multiplied by 100 and with magic powers.
Well, Zeus did rape Leda. He was no angel.
Then again, Yahweh didn't seem to think that Mary's consent was either requested or required.
Yeah, I have to concede your point that the Christians worship a meaner god. Maybe it's because Zeus got laid a lot more while Yahweh needs to sublimate his sexual frustration into violence and cruelty.
