Most ancient religions had gods that were both good and evil. They were flawed and just as bad as humans if not worse for their abuse of power. Christianity and Judaism is pretty different in that they claim god is super good, especially Christians, even though there are things in their own Bible that show their god being evil.
I always used to wonder why they worshipped such a shitty god, and if I, a mere human, have better morals and know right and wrong better than the Christian god, what good is he?
having been raised in this religion the whole thing is a con.
The whole thing runs like god cop bad cop. God is written as ‘terrible’ in the bible he’s wrathful and vengeful and capricious as fuck. Old testament God it’s hard to see as anything short of villanous, outside of Genesis. He really is only ever fucking shit up.
Jesus is the nice guy who protects you from God if you promise to believe in him and pay his agents.
There’s simply no reason an all-powerful being needs anyone to be tortured to death to initiate a forgiveness. Torturing someone’s descendants because they fucked up is some cartel shit. If your religion has morals on par with a cartel you might be objectively incorrect.

God works in mysterious ways
It’s all part of his plan
