IS this a loving father figure or an evil, megolomanical person?

Neither - He is a god and the Bible recognises that we can barely grasp at what he is really like so it constantly talks in symbols and the nearest thing that we can understand.

Nonsense Blacknad. I can clearly and easily grasp and comprehend a world-wide flood killing innocent children. I can also comprehend the murder of every first-born male in an entire country. Not to mention smallpox, AIDS, leukemia, polio and a host of other inventions of said deity.

If there is some aspect of smallpox I can not grasp then that fault clearly lies with the creator of both me and smallpox doesn't it?
