I understand. That's just the differences between you and I, nothing wrong with that. I don't hold God to human standards because he isn't human, but I do in some ways hold Jesus to human standards.
In other words, you only hold God to human standards when it's convenient for you to think of him as loving, merciful, just, good, etc. But when he's depicted, without impunity, as a genocidal, murderous, racist, homophobic piece of shit, well, who can really say for sure?
