I happen to agree that the Old Testament depiction of God is of a petty, jealous, and possibly even an evil deity. You are talking to someone who had a parting with the Catholic church for that, and other reasons. Moreover, I already said that I think Christian reconstructionists are misguided. What point exactly is it that you think you have proved by this? Are you are arguing that "Their God is evil therefore Christian Reconstructionists are evil"? That, in my opinion, would be an invalid conclusion. The evil history of a religion does not make it's current followers evil, only misdirected, and people are usually quite easy to misdirect as David Blaine, Chris Angel, and so many other illusionists have so elloquently illustrated.
