..is the god which many modern Christians worship. He is a god who unfair and vindictive, because he rewards Christians who practice mouth worship, with eternal life while he condemns to eternal torment anyone who does not know about him.
The God of Abraham Isaac and Jacob, who I know of is neither unfair nor vindictive. He rewards every man according to his deeds and He is no respecter of persons:
... Who will render to every man according to his deeds: To them who by patient continuance in well doing seek for glory and honour and immortality, eternal life: But unto them that are contentious, and do not obey the truth, but obey unrighteousness, indignation and wrath, Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile; But glory, honour, and peace, to every man that worketh good, to the Jew first, and also to the Gentile: For there is no respect of persons with God. (Romans 2:5-11 KJV)
Neither would He torture innocent people for simply living their lives even though they may not know of Him. He is not willing that any should perish but for those who do evil without repenting they will perish.
People who believe in a god who is unfair and who is vindictive, can and will often model their lives after the example set by their god. Their morals and their personal conduct will unfortunately follow the unfairness and vindictiveness of their flawed god.
Its a sad time for Christianity.
