I see what you're saying. But... If you want to get lawyerly about it - the first passage wasn't God talking, but John if I remember right. In his enthusiasm (sic!) he might have presumed an attitude upon God. The second one was sort of tortuous. (And also an indirect account; we're sort of asked to trust a tired, thirsty Moses to have the words right.) Yes, there was a fragment about showing conditional love, but imagine if you were dating God, and he said this. It would be pretty unsatisfying, no? It would to me.

I see God (well not God, but whoever wrote the thing) talking generally about love and humanity. I don't see him expressing it to any "person". At least not in the quotes you quoted. Ooooh I am a JEALOUS God, yeah, that's the God for me. A mean angry son of a bitch. Did you know the Tibetans believe that religion should be compatible with reason? They've got the best religion I've come across so far. None of that angry God shit. Del- if you read this- you might enjoy the Essentials of Tibetan Buddhism. I have really enjoyed it. The Tibetans are good people. The more I read about them the more I like them and their religion- and usually knowledge makes my heart grow colder.
