        Bringing up God summoning 2 bears to slaughter 42 children for calling one of his deciples a “baldhead” is always a fun tid bit!

        I would not call that a just or kind god.

          Many of the OT stories are horrifying. Book of Job is probably the worst, where a petty God destroys a good and pious man to win a wager with Satan.

          Who would be interested in worshipping a God who would do such a thing to his own followers, and whose omnipotence is so limited that he can be tricked by Satan into performing evil acts?
