218. God seems to be bipolar

God as described in the Old Testament was one mean sumbitch. Witness the Story of Job.

Job was a Good, God-Fearing Man. God whacked his whole family, destroyed his crops, and basically fucked Job's whole life up just to win a bar bet with the Devil.

The OT's full of God having entire civilizations wiped out. This God was not a nice person.

Then came the New Testament. Essentially, God got tired of whacking people, came to earth as a man, got whacked himself and said "if you believe in Me, My death will pay for all your sin." Which was really nice of him.
