Including genocide, slavery, and everything else? Yeah.
John still cant grasp the reality of the way the character is written.
As a literary device the "God" character reflected the feudal "divine right of kings". Kings are dictators just like Kim Jong Un. They will protect minions but kill all dissenters and those who doubt or question.
So the holy books reflected the tribalism of the time it was written.
