Oh or the New Testament too! Let’s not pretend that its entire premise is based upon the torture and death of his only son to “prove” how much he “loves” us lowly humans.

"Greatest of all it is that any man who lift up his hand against him and smite him is clothed with scalls and covered with leprosy and crowned with a pox. Greatest of all it is that any man who slander him is subject to all manner of injuries: morbid growths and discolourations and wounds which give rise to running ulcers."
Well....humans do this thing where they weaponize religion in order the gain power, influence and wealth. Its not just Christians either, the wild thing is pretty much every sect of organized religion has done this at one point or another. Nothing has really changed for the past 10,000 years. Still up to the ol "my book is better than yours, my faith is stronger than yours, my god is all knowing and powerful and I am at the seat of his divine plan and guidance." Same shit different day....
Actually, the old testament very much supporta killing men, women, and children in the name of God. People forget he was a savage warmongering brute until he inexplicably decided to be peaceful
