Off the top of my head from reading the Bible and Sunday school, I remember that God decides to execute a bunch of Egyptian children and rain plagues down upon them. I remember that God decides to drown just about every man woman, child (born and unborn), and animal on the planet because he's feeling a little salty. God allows the torture of a true believer (Job) to settle a gentleman's bet with Satan.

I also remember a lot of verses about what ought to be done to whom. Anyone setting foot on Mt. Sinai is to be stoned to death. I think it's Exodus where God tells Levi, Moses, etc to go slaughter a bunch of people, and then isn't quite satisfied so he unleashes a plague to take care of some more. I'm pretty sure that any adulterers and homosexuals are to be executed on sight, per Leviticus. And, hey, check this out, it doesn't stop there: BibleGateway.com - Passage Lookup: Leviticus 24:16



And, so on.

Now, I'm not attempting to excuse any silliness in the Koran (of which there is plenty). I'm just pointing out that you shouldn't gyp Christians and Jews out of their equal claim to a sadistic, bloodthirsty God.
