I don't get it. Especially after reading the Old Testament.
Man if you don't get it while living in Dallas (eight years in north Dallas for me formerly), you are in for trouble. The former guv and his buddies will be coming to clear you out!
To criticize one must be equal to or greater than, you are neither.
That's not true at all. This is not the standard for criticism. Pretty much ever. I'm not president, have never been president, am not probably qualified to be president, nor ever want to be president. Does this mean I can't even question the president?
Which "Biblical God?" There is a clear progression of perceptions about God in the Bible, so any single perception is going to be debatable in any one context. When anyone says "the God of the Bible' you know they have an agenda.
Neither is the made up Yahweh who is actually nothing more than a character in a work of mythology. Would you refrain from criticizing Thor because someone claimed he was a god?

Clearly false. Does a film critic have to be greater than the director/actor/screen writer in order to be able to offer criticism of a movie? Must a sportswriter establish equal/superior athletic ability in order to write anything negative about a pro player?
You seem to have gone to some trouble to place yourself in a position of being intimidated by a legend.
I have compassion for primitive man for interpreting thunder as God being mad, for example. making up stories from his little, savage, pea brain.
What else was he to think?
So, I criticize the Bible's accuracy.
How can a person criticize a Being that didn't do all 'He' was blamed for?
