Please post stories from the old testament that confirm that this god is a wicked one. At least according to today's parameters.
1 - Cain and Abel
God accepted blood sacrifices??? He didn't like Cain's sacrifice? Because it didn't involve killing animals?
This really seems a tribal god.

Why sacrifice in the first place?
He, funny read. I can't understand why there are millions of people who preach up their faith when they have no rational reason to believe it. They think it's the ultimate truth, bother everyone else with it and when someone logically explains that they're maybe, just maybe, wrong, they call him/her ignorant. Amazing. This just proves the old saying "Human stupidity gives us the conception of infinity".
