Did God just admit to his followers that he's a psychopath?

[Wyrd of Gawd]

Indeed. He loves you so much he promises to torture you for non-compliance.

It's a good point. How intelligent is God? If the bible is anything to go by, he's as intelligent as the people writing it. There's nothing in there to demonstrate anything beyond this, except wild claims which anyone can make. I know everything! See?

And as usual it's unfalsifiable. I could claim to know everything, but you can't prove I don't because I can just refuse to answer questions. God could be right in front of me and he can't prove that he is omnipotent or omniscient, so I don't know why I'd take the word of people who have learnt nothing by being in his literal presence.

One of the major problems with the God character is that you are expected to believe in the Jewish version or else the Arabian version.  Neither one of their gods is worth a damn.
