Ambivalent God

The three Abrahamic religions, Judaism, Christianity and Islam, all root themselves in the concept of a loving God. But God also smites and smotes, demands vengeance, and rewards murder with the gift of heaven. But then the God of love asks for reconciliation and brotherhood.

Is this contradiction in God or in us? To me, the only evidence we can ever have of God is in the behavior of human beings. In these times, heaven help us.
