What are you saying? That it’s morally ok for God to be a murdering bastard but those he made in his likeness should be better behaved?

Here is the answer from John Piper: (What do you think of his response?)
He tells you that the God that you worship is sick and evil. So much for our morality originating in religion. Jesus would hate everything he stands for and so should you.

Then how come I changed and became aware of a profound inner awareness when I allegedly "got saved"? And why do many others report the same change?
How come there are so many suicide bombers? How come there are so many mental illnesses? How come there are so many crazy sects willing to think and believe all sorts of batshit crazy things? How come Mormons, Scientologists, dowsers, Hindus, astrologers?
It's your mind Phat, it can do powerful things to you. Do voluntary work in a mental hospital for a few months - you'll see that people can sincerely believe absolutely anything. Nothing can change a Napoleon of Jesus's mind that they're delusional.
Mass hypnosis??
No, just the way our brains are wired. You would not believe what you believe now had you been born to Hindu parents. We learn beliefs, we are programmed to believe them - some peoplemore than others.
