You saying there are two gods doesn't mean there is, simply due to the
fact that YOU like and dislike certain verses in the OT over others in the
NT. Having s ...[text shortened]... ans "All of them avoided by christians." either. That is a simply your

Okay, I got your point. When I usually say "christians", I normally mean "some christians" or "those christians who" and so on. It's like christians, sorry, some christians, say that atheists this and atheist that, when they mean some atheist etc. Samo, samo.
Okay, so you say all the OT is true, every tiny verse, and all is written as truths, and we should take it by the letter, because it is god himself who has written it, albeit by proxies.
So when NT writes about the loving and caring god, and the OT writes about the bloodthirsty god - in your opinion, is it the same god or not? That's only one of the paradoxes that can be found in the bible. If you can resolve this paradoxes so I can understand it, then I've learned something new, and there is one paradox less in my list.
