Re: [asa] The Old Testament God is ..

That's quite a rap sheet for a delusion!

On a related anecdotal note -- a joke circulates about the persistent
"Jewishness" of non-religious Jews: it runs something like this.

A devoutly atheistic man of Jewish lineage sent his son to an elite
private school that happened to be Christian. He did this for academic
reasons only and despite its religious affiliation. One day Johnny
comes home and inquires of his father: "Dad, did you know that God is
really three persons --- the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit?"
His dad, almost unable to control his rage, sat his son down and looked
him in the eye and said: "Johnny! There is only ONE God, and we do
NOT believe in him!"
