I'm not saying anything on what I'd think of that though. Quite frankly, the only thing that grabs me is that thing about God Loving... I'm certain, in the New Testament, he was a very loving, caring Lord, but in the Old Testament, he was full of wrath to his enemies, destroying at least 2 civilisations because he thought they were inferior to his image. Going by that alone is both evidence that God does NOT simply convey Love, but could also be seen as His fallability.
Now, that last point confuses me.
