This is how the "prophets" described him, at any rate. He asked for Abraham to kill his son? He asked for Noah to build an ark? He talks to grown men in riddles advising them to follow rules that a 5 year old could figure out?
Does this honestly sound like a "deity" worth "worshipping?"
If a god exists, damn I hope he isn't the Abrahamic "version."
Funny how people can interpret the same stories so differently.
I'm glad you finally admit that it's a story. If it's so up for interpretation, then why take any version literally at all?
