I understand why you do not see the god of Abraham as a supreme being as you observe the atrocities described in the Hebrew scriptures. I view the God of the OT and the God of the NT to be an expression of the same God, but it is important to me to remember that the Bible was written by humans. It is an expression of their understanding of God in their lives and it is an honest and sometimes brutal interpretation. But there was something they experienced that led them to believe that there was a force greater than themselves guiding them. I don’t agree that God is a man-made deity, but I do believe that the human attempts to capture God are just that–human attempts.
