And how exactly is God your father?
I mean hasn't it been debunked that God created humans and it was actually discovered that humans came to existence on account of natural processes without any supernatural implications like gods?

Then who else drowned the world in the Bible?
Or when God issues commands like this "However, in the cities of the nations the Lord your God is giving you as an inheritance, do not leave alive anything that breathes. Completely destroy them—the Hittites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites—as the Lord your God has commanded you." is he innocent of the crime because he "only" ordered it and Israelites committed them? Should Israelites disobey God's commands? Would you have disobeyed God? Would you kill children if you were in a position where God commanded you to do it "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man."
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
