I'm not sure I know what you think. I gather you're Christian, and probably Protestant because relatively few Catholics get into these kinds of debates; they're less prone to saying "read the book" as if that were a convincing argument.

You claimed that an understanding of a god was possible by reading a particular book. That part, I agree with. You implied that this understanding would include the concept of a "god of love." That part, I don't agree with. The more I've read of that book, the less love I see.

I would like to know which parts *of the book* convince you that this is a god of love, and how you decided to ignore the parts that mention his wrath, jealousy, hatred, and tendency to inflict armies and plagues on people who get in his way.
