I'm sorry. I don't mean to be impolite or flippant. I just thought you'd understand what I meant.
The jealous and vengeful God, whose demands for worship and compliance led to the flood and the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, and his anger toward the Israelites...as manifest during the 40 yrs in the desert, and other Old Testament stories that describe His relationship with "His" people. That and why have some of the Old Testament teachings fallen away.....concubines and polygamy, or the dietary and social norms of the Old law....while others are still "in play?"...
That, compared to the all forgiving and loving God that asks for nothing but faith, and acceptance of His son's sacrifice for our sins. That, and while there seems to be no new covenant to nullify some Old Testament teachings, specifically and clearly many Christians no longer consider them things that should be enforced....role of women, homosexuality, keeping the Sabbath "holy," and other examples.
Free will is one thing. But maybe the creator is a woman after all though....cause he/she sure seems to change his/her mind a lot.
