It would hard to be more demonic than the god of the Old Testament.

You confuse Gods doings with those of sinful men. It's the difference between sacrificial love and murderous hatred. Can you tell the difference?

In my opinion, drowning every lifeform on the planet in a flood

is pretty psychopathic. Why kill millions of innocent children

and animals? I don't believe that the humans at the time had mastered weather modification to that degree.

He did make them all after all and He could do as He pleased with His creation and He was extremely patient and He could make it all again and did and if you decided to do the save with your creations and someone judge you and took you to court to stop you you'd be livid.

You didn't read it obviously or you might have the ability to understand what "every evil inclination to sin" means. I assume you are ok with never punishing murderers, rapists, stealing, etc etc. And I assume that you don't understand that killing children and saving them from such abuse might have actually been merciful? It's beyond us to comprehend but it's an example of how horrible ppl are at heart and how patient God is to wait and tolerate things that you and I would have "struck with lightning" for so much less. Be honest!

Human societies have developed laws to punish people that commit crimes.

In general, the punishment fits the crime.

Your god was fond of issuing cruel and unusual punishments that were not

commensurate with the 'sin'. I honestly can't see killing innocents as merciful.

The god of the OT was an outright psychopathic killer.

Another strange thing is how God was always talking directly to people in the OT. Then God said,"........." I don't think that OT god was God at all, frankly. Sounds more like an evil Annunaki.

I think that the people having conversations with

imaginary friends were likely heavy opium users.
