MNB: So are we dealing with multiple personalities then? Sounds like we have a pantheon on our hands!
For now, let's agree keep old YHWH out of the kitchen...
"And as a round cake of barley you will eat it; and as for it, upon dung cakes of the excrement of mankind you will bake it before their eyes." - Ezekiel 4:12

God is truth, God is love, God is light etc....
Although this may be true of God, it is in direct opposition to "His" Book's description of him. According to "His" Book he not only violated his own Ten Commandments by killing individuals, telling people to lie, causing adultry, and ordering stealing, but committed a wide assortment of other despicable acts.

Wow, God's a lot of things.
You know what cracks me up? It's when God apologists quote scripture saying God is a good guy. God (through his own holy book) says he's a good guy...well, no surprises there then!
