That's the problem - you take a cursory glance. The OT god shows love and forgiveness, and Jesus shows judgment and wrath.

Then why do you have to bow to him? Why do you have to sing songs for him? Why do you even have to say ridiculously long prayers to him?

If a god was infinitely more powerful than everything else, it wouldn't give one single damn about people bowing or singing songs to him.
Huh? You bow down and sing songs to retarded children? Bizarre.

OK - I'll bite. Care to illustrate your argument with some examples?
