Tell me what makes you think that "Ein Sof" (google it) has the capacity for bloodthirst. Yr perhaps forgetting that religion for the masses rarely touches upon the true nature of the divine, because that's not what the masses need, is it? In fact, look at contemporary Christian theology and tell me how often the sermons that are given from Seoul to South Carolina really speak about the transcendent nature of Salvation and Gnosis with the divine? See where I'm going with this? All religions were created equal, and all views of God the Father are equally frivolous when one is trying to live a holy life. The holy spirit is all you need, and you can call that what you want. This is getting strange...
Do you believe in rapture?

What I'm saying is easy to demonstrate--there are numerous references to a wrathful God in the OT, and the central focus of the NT is antithetical....
The OT God tells the Jews to slaughter women and children....I'm not making it up--it's in the OT.
And no, I don't believe in rapture--that idea is not biblical, and it was created less than 200 years ago.
