The story of Jericho is fascinating, isnt it? An entire city/town falling because people they yelled and then they killed everyone except the people found in Rahabs house. I find this story morally distasteful, I dont worship a god like that.
I think one of the failings of Christianity is that they consider their god to be a loving god because he murdered his only son. Twice. Because humans are filthy, dirty sinners.
You know, if a woman covered in bruises approached me and told me that the husband she loves really truely loves her once he murdered her son for all of her sins, then I would tell her to seek psychiatric help and get her husband arrested.
That's the logic I see in worshipping the god of the bible.

Even so, you're simply basing his character on the parts of the bible you like and not the parts you don't like. I contend that you have to stretch the logic simply to get him palatable for love (like in my example above.)
