I am wondering what your take on the NT god is and whether that was a deliberate creation to pacify, or a natural expression of the desires of the people of the time? Did Jesus bring the idea of the NT god or do you think he was created at the time of its writing?
I see what you mean.
It's hard to say (I only just recently looked into the origins of christianity) but I definitely believe christianity was created to pacify. It's too suspicious having a god go from the way he was depicted in the OT, to suddenly being absent (yes, god the father is almost entirely absent in the NT) and forgiving.
I also believe that, unless a man can truly turn water into wine, walk on water, and create 3000 loaves of bread out of 5 loaves, jesus was most likely fiction, like the rest of the Bible.
