Cruel, egocentric, prone to smiting, megalomanical,...maybe. I hope we
don't run into one (or become one).

You cannot read part of the Bible allegorically and the rest of it
literally; if you believe in the virgin birth of Jesus, his crucifixion
and resurrection, and the depiction of the Great Judgment at the end
times you must also believe that God is sadistic, brutal, vengeful,
callow, cruel and savage - that God slaughters.
