I'm with you man. My father was a preacher and I grew up in the church. I've read the bible cover to cover more than once. It would greatly disturb many "New Testament" Christians to actually read what the Old Testament god was like.

You're also right that it's useless to argue with those folks who believe in god. I just can't help myself sometimes.
