The God described in The Old Testament: hardly deserves to be worshipped.

 God is actually vouching for slavery several places in the Bible. In The Old Testament he comes across having a rather mean and ruthless personality. Letting the Hebrews kill a lot of people when he’s pleased with them. And let other people kill a lot of Hebrews when he feels they have offended him.

Why he picked the Hebrew as his favorites, is never explained. But by that he shows simple Racism towards all other people. Punishing them and robbing them off their land.

God’s choice of role-models for the people seems bizarre. A lot of them are simple crooks. Abraham, Jacob, David, Solomon and so on. Murder, fraud, adultery, betrayals. Were there any sins they didn’t commit? And still they were the “Almighty’s” champions.

Then there is the unfathomable atrocities The Lord lashes out on frail struggling people; deluge, the demolition of Sodom and Gomorrah. The plagues, the list is astonishingly long.

On top he demands us to love him unconditionally. And worship him as the only because he is a Jealous God. The concept is like: I beat and torture you until you start loving me. And even after that, to assure you still love me.

Personally I feel I would loose myself if I gave in and bowed down for that kind of Tyranny. The prospect of being confronted with and judged by a force with the characteristics as mentioned when I leave this Planet for the Spiritual realms would not be comforting. Accordingly I have dismissed any faith in this as being the truth.
