YHWH tempted Abraham to sacrifice his son (Gen 22:1), hardened Pharaoh’s heart to bring about the slaughter of Egypt’s firstborn (Ex 10:27), incited David to sin so 70,000 Israelites would die for it (2 Sam 24:1), and sent a lying spirit to deceive prophets (1 Kgs 22:22).

He gave laws impossible to keep perfectly, then punished the inevitable failure.

Far from the benevolent Father revealed by Christ, the Old Testament deity rigs the game and damns the players.
