You know in the part you bolded you described the god of the bible perfectly?
By enduring dissocial or antisocial behavior.
-God rarely had contact and one only with one tribe at that before christ, and has not communicated directly with any person since paul.
A diminished capacity for empathy or remorse
-God ordered the genocide ofMidianites, Canaanites and Amalekites, to be slaughter with mercy and is angry when mercy is shown to the Amalekites. He has yet to show any remorse.
Poor behavioral controls or fearless dominance
God demonstrates both.
In genesis he destroys the tower of babel and scatter the poeple to the four winds because he was afraid of them. In genesis he also killed everyone on earth except moah and his family, because they didn't do what he wanted.
To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player,
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage,
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
