Now now, they were mostly cathlycks, but yes, I do get your point.

You said he is a vengeful and hating father figure who kills off his own children whenever he likes, and that he will send Jesus back to earth to kill one third of the populace. So basically you worship a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully, children abuser and serial killer.

Whoa Nelly! I didn't say that! My trusty KJV says so. And those labels are your words, not mine.
Are you familiar with the Midianites?

4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
6 And Moses sent them to the war, a thousand of every tribe, them and Phinehas the son of Eleazar the priest, to the war, with the holy instruments, and the trumpets to blow in his hand.
7 And they warred against the Midianites, as the LORD commanded Moses; and they slew all the males.
8 And they slew the kings of Midian, beside the rest of them that were slain; namely, Evi, and Rekem, and Zur, and Hur, and Reba, five kings of Midian: Balaam also the son of Beor they slew with the sword.
9 And the children of Israel took all the women of Midian captives, and their little ones, and took the spoil of all their cattle, and all their flocks, and all their goods.
10 And they burnt all their cities wherein they dwelt, and all their goodly castles, with fire.

It goes on for a bit, mind.
God got really cranky there, didn't He?

And if we have that narrow path to follow and we must not do anything God doesn't want us to do, then why did he give us free will and freedom of choice, huh?

So we would have a choice. Simple eh!

Just to fill up Hell so it's not an empty place? Just shows how sadistic he is and how he loves his children

He loves all the children who love Him back.

And by the way, you might want to change your signature.
''I am the LORD thy God, which brought thee out of the land of Egypt:
open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.'' -That's just nasty, good sir.

What's nasty about that. It's in the Bible!
