That statement flies in the face of accepted interpretation so for you to make it surely required some logic. Are you saying that you can't back it up?

Point 2: Questioning ≠ agreement

That is only because the accepted interpretation is self-serving for the believers. There are a number of biblical events that allow the conclusion of God being at the very least a sadist, if not schizophrenic.

None stand up to scrutiny though.

Yes they do, the character of God in the bible often contradicts himself, changes his mind, takes on multiple personas, makes a talking snake knowing it would be able to trick A&E into eating from the tree, floods the world, and then has to sacrifice himself to himself in order to make up for the sin he created. Judging this persona God as is written in the bible by our psychological analysis would not result in a favorable conclusion.

I never said it did, rather stupid of you to draw that conclusion considering my atheism certainly isn't the view shared by most. In fact i reject arguments from authority conclusively, there has to be substance behind the claim, and there is plenty of substance in a psychological analysis of God - which as i said, is far from favorable to God...

So you reject my conclusion as "stupid" because your view is unpopular according to you, and now substitute "substance". Back to point #1 then... you are making blind assertions.
