As i read the Bible, i have a hard time buying the narrative that God is all knowing. He just gets way too angry. [Spirituality & Religion]

Thinking specifically of Isaiah and Jeremiah, God is so, so pissed that the people are worshipping idols and not obeying the law of their ancestors.
Like my anger will burn like a fire forever, i will have your enemies strip and rape you, your bodies will be like piles of manure on the ground etc etc.

Would someone really be (or reasonably be) that angry about something they knew from the very beginning was coming?
Seems crazy to me.

I really think the first person to think up the old testament God was a narcissistic psychopath. All the symptoms are there. They were just so narcissistic they elevated their mental illness to a God.
Probably terrorized their immediate family members into worship on threat of death or sexual abuse. Thus the first converts.
Also he was supposedly an edomite war God. So if this started in the military no wonder it found a foothold were death and rape are war tactics.

I definitely buy the god of Abraham as a war god
