That pretty much sums up the message of the Bible. It is a message of tremendous love.
I can't believe I used to believe this. What a *horrible* model of "love."

Default The Book of Job

Personally, my favorite story was always the book of Job!

God: I'm bored.
Satan: Wanna play cards?
God: Nah, too easy.
Satan: I know! Let's torture some poor innocent soul with all kinds of terrible diseases and calamities!! I bet you I can make him lose faith!
God: You're on! Let me call my bookie.

Don't forget the sequel...

God: See? Told ya Job'd stick with me!
Satan: Yeah right. That's easy because there really wasn't an alternative. If there had been another false god for him to cling to, he'dda switch camps in no time!
God: Wanna bet?
Satan: You're on. Just let me give your "loyal" people some hippy carpenter who says he's God and does a few miracles, and they'll be leaving You in flocks.
God: We'll see about that...

Later...

God: Hah! You owe me five pieces of silver. My people stood firm and rejected your hippy God. Only people you managed to convince was some nutty gentiles... *snicker*
Satan: Alright alright. By the way, you going to do anything about them?
God: Nah, let 'em play for a while. Surely nobody will buy into all that mystical "new covenant" and "trinity" crap longer than a few centuries...

Well, your strong suit is Stand-Up fundie preaching.

Cool

All of this brings to mind P.J. O'Rourke famous quote: "Making fun of fundamentalist christians is like hunting dairy cows with a high-powered rifle and scope".
