You are free to say that the god character in the Bible is an evil bastard if you want to. I am not forcing you to say otherwise. In fact, I am encouraging you not to say otherwise.
You are an example of how religion perverts natural morality. I would not expect that you are very likely to do the sorts of things on your own that your god commands in the Bible. But you should stand up to evil, not embrace it. It is up to you how you react to it, not me.
Religion corrupts morals, and you are a prime example of this fact. Most people do not say that murdering little children and raping young girls is right and proper. But if the person is religious and it is found to be commanded by god in the book they regard as holy, they are often ready to embrace it.
I say, give up your evil ways and condemn evil.
