A disgraceful god

[edial]

I teach the Bible and that what you quoted is not in the Bible.

Thanks,Ed

If you knew your bible you'd concede that it's an extremely accurate paraphrase.

The actual quote:

"for i, yahweh your god, am a jealous god, visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children, on the third and on the fourth generation of those who hate me..."

As I say, a needy and spiteful god is an accurate descriptor of the fictional being yhwh.

That is allowing the natural sins of the fathers to naturally travel into their children. Let's say the father (or grandfather) is an alcoholic or drug addict, the tendency for such addictions is stronger in the children born from such parents. The same thing can be applied to any sin, such as hatred, violence, thievery and such. But to those who do want to follow God, he will extend that blessed qualities of his parents upon many, many generations.
Thanks,

A theist can convince himself of anything when he overlooks the parts of the bible that make him uncomfortable.

I don't know about that. But so can the atheists.
