If your Bible is 1000 pages long, you won't see, "God is love..." until around page 950. That's I John 4:8. Most of the Bible tells how UNLOVING, violent and egotistical God actually was/is. Only about one-tenth of the Bible is about Jesus. Most of the Bible is about killing, sex, hate and fear.
God shows his love...
He tells Noah he plans on killing every living thing on earth." Genesis 6:13. Later, Amos brags about how powerful God is... "When disaster comes to a city, has not the Lord caused it?" Amos 3:6
And if folks aren't good ... "I will utterly sweep away everything... I will sweep away humans and animals; I will sweep away birds of the air and fish of the sea... Zephaniah I:2-3
"That day will be a day of wrath... I will bring distress upon people... their blood shall be poured out like dust, and their flesh like dung. Zephaniah I:15-117
More love and understanding...
"Whoever curses his father or mother shall be put to death." Exodus 21:17 and Leviticus 20:15-16
Anyone who blasphemes the name of the Lord shall be put to death. Leviticus 24:16
Whoever does any work on the Sabbath day shall be put to death. Exodus 31:15 and 35:2
God tells Moses that when he takes a census that all the people of Israel must pay a "ransom" that will go to the upkeep of God's tent. If they don't God will unleash a plague on them. Exodus 30:11-16
Some of the people of Israel grow tired of eating manna every day and ask God for meat. God grumbles but sends them a flock of quail. Then he gets mad anyway and kills them with a plague. Numbers II:4-5 and 31-34
Why was it okay for God to destroy the whole city of Sodom (including children and other innocent people) but not okay to destroy Lot's daughters when they had sex with their father? (They ended up living in a cave and then got their father, Lot, drunk and had sex with him.) Genesis 19:30-36 (Gee, sure a lot of drinking and getting drunk in the Bible, too.)
God loves children?
Solomon accumulates a thousand wives and mistresses and becomes a worshiper of "abominations." God does not punish Solomon but, instead, punishes Solomon's innocent son. I Kings II:1-12; Nehemiah 13:26-27
God allowed Jephthat to sacrifice his virgin daughter. Judges II:30-39
God killed David and Bathsheba's baby but let David and Bathsheba live. II Samuel II:2-4, 14-27; 12:9-19
God orders Saul to destroy the people of Amalek because they had the audacity (several hundred years previous) to fight against Israel. "Now go and attack Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." I Samuel 15:2-3 (What did the poor oxen, sheep and other animals do to God?)
Noah gets drunk on wine and passes out with his genitals exposed. Ham, his son, accidentaly sees him. When Noah awakens and finds out, he punishes Ham by making Ham's youngest son a slave. All this with God's approval. Genesis 9:20-27
God had the ark burn two of Aaron's sons because their offerings to God were "unauthorized." Leviticus 10:1-2
God loves women?
According to God, any man who SUSPECTS his wife of adultery must bring her into God's tent where a priest will make her drink dirty water which, "... shall enter into her and cause bitter pain, and her womb shall discharge, her uterus drop, and she shall become an execration among her people." Numbers 5:11-31
Moses' sister, Miriam, mentions that her prophesies are just as good as her brother's. God responds by turning her into a leper. Numbers 12:1-10
"If a woman does not cover her head, she should have her hair cut off...... the woman is the glory of man. I Corinthians II:3-15
"... women should be silent in churchs. For they are not permitted to speak, but should be subordinate. ... If there is anything they desire to know, let them ask their husbands at home...: I Corinthians 14:34-35
"Wives, submit to your husbands as to the Lord. ...." Ephesians 5:22-24
"I...want women to dress modestly, with decency and propriety, not with braided hair or gold or jewels or expensive clothes... I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man; she must be silent..." I Timothy 2:9-14
Note: When it comes time for the judgement day... John writes that only 144,000 living people will be deemed worthy of salvation and that they ... " did not defile themselves with women, for they kept themselves pure." Guess that leaves out women and married men. Revelation 14:3-4
God is a nice guy?
"Slaves, obey your earthly masters with respect and fear...." Ephesians 6:5-7
"... without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness of sins.: Hebrews 9:22
"...the Lord disciplines those he loves, and he punishes everyone he accepts as a son." Hebrews 12:6
"Whoever wishes to become a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God." James 4:4
Regarding the family... Jesus says, "... I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household. Matthew 10:35-36; Luke 12:52-53 
Most Biblical references to love are in the new testament and that is because the Apostles were trying to recruit people for their new "cult" by creating stories about Jesus. Their stories do not even agree in the facts. At that time people did not trust the disciples or Jesus and, in fact, thought that he was possesed. Luke 4:24-29; Mark 9:19. This was why they chose to crucify Jesus rather than Barabbas.
The story of Jesus (which is the important part of the Bible to most Christians and the basis of their beliefs) makes up only about a tenth of the total Bible. If Jesus was so important why isn't there more about his life and why are the details so skimpy? In fact, the first time the word 'Christian' is used is in Acts 11:26.
Christians often claim "Jesus is the son of God..." and try to make a big deal out of that but whatever happened to the other sons of God? God had SIX other sons and they even got to have sex with the women of earth. Genesis 6:1-2,4
A little bit of heaven...
John explains what Heaven is like: " ... a throne ... and the one who sat there had the appearance of jasper (green rock). From the throne came flashes of lightning, rumblings and peals of thunder...Around the throne were four living creatures, and they were covered with eyes, in front and in back... Day and night they never stop saying, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come." Revelation 4:2-8
John mentions that Jesus in Heaven has glowing feet and a sword sticking out of his mouth (which makes sense since God is violent) and resembles a dead lamb with seven horns and seven eyes and pulls seals off a scroll held by God. Sounds like a really nice place to go and you get to wear a nifty white robe, too.
If that's Heaven, then why are so many Christians anxious to go there, proclaiming that Jesus died for their sins? Makes you wonder! Something tells me they've only heard/read certain parts of the Bible that certain preachers want them to know about.
Three times in the final chapter of the Bible, Jesus says, "... I am coming soon!" Revelation 22:7, 12, 20. That was 2000 years ago. Hello?
