but it is still tied to the same old testament god as well as the judgment, vengeance and pettiness that is still there in the new testament. Otherwise, it wouldn't have included the threat of eternal "hell fire" for nonbelievers or those who don't repent or believe all the 'right' things. So there is still the doctrine of fear and punishment for even the slightest transgression or error in not believing, worshipping or asking for forgiveness from the Christian god... which is, afterall, supposedly the same god as the Jewish god. And remember... if there is a flood, fire, sickness or whatever, it is still attributed to an "act of god" very much as it was in the days of the Greek gods. So what has changed, really?
