I lose my temper all the time. Perhaps Jesus would have been more useful if he lost his temper on the proper occasion.
Yeah if big J had more sense he would have stormed off when dad told him to go get crucified, think of all the fun he could have had..... "Hey babe you wanna see a miracle" instead the idiot goes and gives Mel Gibson material for a movie

He actually did. But he only lost his temper when people behaved in manners "unpleasing to god". Of course, this is assuming the stories in the bible are true and not written by a bunch of liars.
Question for OP - If god told noah to gather two of every "kind" of animal, what happened when Noah realized many kinds of animals are carnivores? This would mean noah would have to feed the carnivores other animals therefore not fullfilling gods plan. Also after the 40 days and 40 nights all plant life is virtually dead, what did they do survive off of fish alone?

AFLOAT
Cold, I am, and bloody tired
To shovel s**t and hay and fruit
That these seasick beasts may be inspired
To live and multiply, to graze and root
In the world when dried.
Many came. Many died.
It was Shem who lost the unicorns.
They were so shy. They lived exclusively on grapes.
He is imperious, like most first borns.
And he must have his wines. And then there were the apes.
Those neanderthals - we thought of them as beasts;
They were not circumcised. They made good leopard feasts.
The dragons simply were too huge.
Their weight had caused the boat to list.
And with that wind and this deluge
We tossed them overboard. They won’t be missed.
Japheth did in the flying pigs. They were treyf.
Noah’s screams were loud enough to make me deaf.
The dinosaurs bent the bars on their cages.
They ate a lot, and how they stank!
Growling, roaring, they’d bite each other in their rages.
They were too much trouble , to be frank.
Rattling their chains, breaking leg irons,
We gave up and fed them to the lions.
And there were those frightful things from outer space.
They almost seemed intelligent, they spoke,
But not Aramaic, just gabble. Their dispatch was no disgrace.
And, also, we lost the elves, fairies, gnomes - all little folk.
I just barely saved the dodo, and the passenger pigeon.
We all prayed, but there are limits to religion.
Finally, that’s the way it goes. The work is lighter.
The rain drums on. The wives are bored to tears.
Noah keeps us in line. Discipline is tighter.
He sings funny songs, quiets down our fears,
Assures us all it will be over soon.
I miss the Sun and yearn to see the Moon.

I'm not sure I understand what you're saying

Sorry, I quite often get caught out by sarcasm to. I am getting at the way religionists always manage to defend against scientific criticisms of their beliefs with banal explanations. And dog well a reasonably banal sarcastic reference to god

Remember what Josh did to the money lenders in the Temple? He wasn't getting a cut of the vig, so he kicked over their tables and broke their kneecaps.
Also read the -The Book of Revelations-. Christ-II:This time He is not turning The Other Cheek.

Hate to say this but your rational for Gods non-existence is almost as flawed as most religionists proof of his existence. Personally I like Prof Dawkins take on this when he says "I am agnostic about god in the same way I am agnostic about the tooth faerie" Like Dawkins I accept the fact that we cannot disprove God and therefore I cannot truly state that I am an atheist, because, simply, however minute the probability, there is a chance God does exist

It sounds like you're searching for the "what's in it for me, God." Now that is a God that I know does not exist.

So you think it's much more probable that god decided to make us for s**ts and giggles, not revealing himself to us and then casts us into eternal hellfire if we don't worship him? What kind of f**** up mother f**** is that?
I don't think that God is like that or that the bible says he is, either.
The bible isn't exactly crystal clear about exactly what hell and heaven are or how they work, but it is crystal clear that God is both just and merciful.
