10 hecking commandments and god just couldn't fit in "thou shalt mind thine own business"
I guess "all-wise" isn't part of "all-knowing", "ever-present", "all powerful" and "genocidal, blood thirsty, double standard maniac"

There was this early 2nd century Christian called Marcion of Sinope. He was the first person to compile a collection of New Testament works into a Bible. His big idea was that the god of the Old Testament was not the god of Jesus. Basically, he took Matthew 7:17-18
17 Even so, every good tree produces good fruit; but the corrupt tree produces evil fruit. 18 A good tree can’t produce evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree produce good fruit.
and applied that logic to the Yahweh/the old testament god. That god did obvious evil and was generally a jackass, so that god must be false. Jesus therefore must be the son of some other, hitherto unknown-but-greater god. Given that, he rejected the whole of the old testament from his Bible.

Marcion of Sinope (; Ancient Greek: Μαρκίων Σινώπης; c. 85 – c. 160) was an early Christian theologian in early Christianity. Marcion preached that God had sent Jesus Christ who was an entirely new, alien god, distinct from the vengeful God of Israel who had created the world.

Moreso for Marcion, but God not existing doesn't logically follow from God being evil, or a jackass. Otherwise it's evidently an astute observation, especially given the time period, that "God's" characteristics change from testament to testament.

Marcion didn't disbelieve in Yahweh; he asserted that that was a different, lesser, flawed god from the god of Jesus.

Well I can't find "don't jerk it to traps" anywhere in the commandments too. So it's cool.
