I'd love to know what the parables in the OT represent. They are stories of God being an evil and incompetent bastard, over and over.
What are we meant to learn from this? Be glad God isn't like this character? I'll go back to doing this shit if I have to?

Here are 3 that come to mind. I have asked theists about these examples many times. Not once have I received a coherent answer.
Human Chimeras - in somewhat rare instances, while twins are developing in utero, one twin will absorb the fetus of the other twin. It is unknown how rare this is, because it does not always show up in lab tests.
What happened to the second soul? Does the surviving twin have 2 souls? Does "god" recall the extra soul?
"Personality reset" - sometimes due to brain injury, a person can literally have their personality reset, to the point that they are almost unrecognizable.
I have an aunt that had a brain injury that went from being a sweet, caring person, to a raging, paranoid bitch. My uncle had to divorce her because she was literally not the person he married.
If the soul is responsible for what makes "you", "you", what happened to my aunt's soul?
Epilepsy surgery (hemisphereectomy) - to prevent seizures, surgeons will cut the connection between the 2 hemispheres of the brain. After the surgery, patients will have 2 different personalities.
There are even cases where one personality is a theist, the other is an atheist.
Does the soul get to go to heaven based on the theist side of the brain? Or is it doomed to hell based on the atheist side?
I just looked up "hemisphereectomy" and it appears to be the complete removal of one of the hemispheres, not the disconnection between the two. Is what you're describing known under a different medical term or is your description a less extreme version of the hemisphereectomy?
Aside from that, though, great points overall.
This is what you are looking for. Also, if you search "split brain" on YouTube there is a fascinating video of a man who went through the procedure. [emoji846]

Keep digging though, I rather enjoy this.
Yeah. For the last time, watch the video. I dare you. Come back when you done it. There are many more of these, by the way. Younger ones, if you're not content with 2011. He didn't get a revelation in between.
LOL, this criticism is hilarious coming from Huggy, considering he just showed me an examination performed in the FIFTIES on a photograph he accepts as undeniable proof of God. Way to go, Hugs. [emoji849]

No, you didn't. You're quote mining.

I'm not a big fan of Huggy, but I'd say he carried his point. If you want him to attend to some contradicting fact, you need do better than constantly bleat about him not watching your video. I'd say he documented de Waal's position quite well.
