None of the above, I would only be angry if this God upheld the immoral proscriptions of the Old Testament.

Atheism, Gnosticism & the Problem of Evil
#25
RE: Atheism, Gnosticism & the Problem of Evil
Christianity would work so much better if they just excised the old testament stuff, Jesus was a really revolutionary figure with revolutionary ideas. OT God was just one of thousands of angry warrior king types with magical powers, there's really nothing special about that myth whatsoever, and that religion likely would have died out with all other ancient religions if it hadn't been used to as a traditional and credibility foundation for a new religion which is, for the most part, not really similar at all.
