Then just say..."It is all metaphorical and allegorical, it isn't real"...and be done with it. Y'all are the ones doing an analysis of the actions and mindset of entities you claim do not exist. That is idiotic...to say the least.
At least the religion believers are telling what they have heard or read about the actions and attitude of entities they believe actually exist.
They may be misguided...but at least they make sense to that extent.
This has been addressed in the last few posts and I see you are just ignoring it. we are saying that the nature of the God presented in the OT is this way and if you claim it is excusable, YOU are the one who is being idiotic.
Killing the first born sons of Egypt -- even infants -- was a perfect thing to do.
Yeah...right.
I wouldn't want to personally know anyone who believe that.
That is just a story in a book...never actually happened.
It is critiques like this, as to the conduct of entities you claim you do not believe actually exist, that is indicative of how senseless some lines of thought can be.
But...everything that actually does happen in The Universe is "perfect". That you might think it isn't is just you putting your arbitrary and subjective personal assessment to it. Nothing is " good" or "bad"... those are just human constructs.

No....I am sensible enough not to try to make an analysis of the actions and thoughts of nonexistent, metaphorical entities.
Of course I ignore what I know didn't actually happen, by beings that I know don't actually exist.

So what is your problem with people who critique the belief in such entities and show the absurdity and hypocrisy of such beliefs?

But devotedly follows someone that proclaims recognition of another unproven entity...Jesus

Bible folks can't have it both ways.
Either the bible is fiction or non-fiction.
And if it's non-fiction than we might as well toss it as the basis of a religion.

An opinion on the belief in the literal veracity is reasonable.
For one to actually directly assess the actions and psyche of that which they claim does not exist is what's not reasonable...to me, anyway.

Then debate that. Not the merit of the actions and state of mind of beings that don't actually exist, let alone do and think things.
