I can't understand how the deity featured in the Bible could be described as a 'God of love' when the actions attributed to it are more like those of a crazed psychopath! Satan is supposed to be the evil one, yet he certainly couldn't be any worse. One can only suppose that when reading the Bible those who call the actions of the deity 'loving' are wearing rose tinted specs! Could a Christian who looks at god in this way explain why, for instance, flooding the planet and killing everything on it, except the sycophant Noah, his family and a few animals, could be described as an act of 'love'?
I was brought up in a Bible believing home, attended a Pentecostal church (Elim) as a youngster and did the 'born again' bit at eleven. I lost my faith by the time I married at 19, as the doubts were too overwhelming to sweep under the carpet. I consider myself an agnostic. A deity could possibly exist somewhere but I don't think humans are in communication with it. I think all faiths are purely human creations.
