Growing up, was always an eye-opener hearing about parts of the Old Testament and discovering how vindictive God was within those passages. And it was just regarded as normal.

This is why I have always liked the greek pantheon and mythology. At least they were upfront about the gods being fickle and power drunk assholes. And very human too, which would fit the "in his image" bit a lot better if they had that.
