I'm not sure IF i'd call the OT God ... God.
Seriously .. how much of what God said in the OT is really God saying it?
Or is it people claiming to speak for God in order to further their own agenda?
There is probably some of God in the OT and there is probably a whole lot that isn't God.
The difficulty is figuring out which is which .... IMHO
Do you think the God of the Bible wasn't concerned with murder when He said "Thou shalt not kill"? And war, that was life back then, there wasn't such a thing as living in peace.

So this is how you describe psychology?

Not to mention that you have yet again ignored the biology we share with other animals. I don't know what's so difficult to grasp about our primitive heritage. Tigers and bears and squirrels have the same organs and anatomy that we do. Four appendages, lungs, brain, spine, teeth, stomach...we have the same needs and the same urges. It's just common sense. Apparently, your definition of 'human' doesn't concern our physicality, but our emotional flexibility and scope.

Repent of your blasphemy Charles or you will be crushed like powder on judgement day for your wickedness and pride.
The Book of the Dead originates at least from 2600 BCE with many versions following. They contain instructions for life after death, a sort of manual. The Hebrew version (10 commandments) originates also IN Egypt (1490 BCE Hebrew exodus from Egypt).
- the main difference is that the Hebrew version is shorter, the 42 gods are replaced by 1 god and the sabbath has been added. This version has been passed on to the Christain community totally disregarding the fact that they took a selective chapter out of the book of death. It is a good management summary for a small set of people endulged in a thousands of year old civilization.
“Hail to thee, great God, Lord of the Two Truths. I have come unto thee, my Lord, that thou mayest bring me to see thy beauty. I know thee, I know thy name, I know the names of the 42 Gods who are with thee in this broad hall of the Two Truths . . . Behold, I am come unto thee. I have brought thee truth; I have done away with sin for thee. I have not sinned against anyone. I have not mistreated people. I have not done evil instead of righteousness . . . I have not reviled the God. I have not laid violent hands on an orphan. I have not done what the God abominates . . . I have not killed; I have not turned anyone over to a killer. I have not caused anyone’s suffering . . . I have not copulated (illicitly); I have not been unchaste. I have not increased nor diminished the measure, I have not diminished the palm; I have not encroached upon the fields. I have not added to the balance weights; I have not tempered with the plumb bob of the balance. I have not taken milk from a child’s mouth; I have not driven small cattle from their herbage… I have not stopped (the flow of) water in its seasons; I have not built a dam against flowing water. I have not quenched a fire in its time . . . I have not kept cattle away from the God’s property. I have not blocked the God at his processions. “

Wow.
Are you GOD?
Did you get crowned the decider of who will be crushed like powder on judgment day?
I'm really surprised, but then again....no, I'm not, because that is how YOUR God behaves. Charles is a jewel of a human being.
What are you?

He used to be a regular here but now he only pops on now and again to spout of hellfire and condem a few poor souls... If anything take pity on him.... He makes our fanatic

Oh, I know. I know. I thought he'd left long ago. Had no clue he was still lurking, waiting to pounce.
No worries - was just surprised to see him resurface. (Like some of them do).
But that means we're animals too.
