Is the Creator the God of the Bible?
I don't know, but I hope not.
Why?
Several reasons including:
Holding his whole creation responsible for the mistake (sin) committed by a naive couple.
Drowning practically the whole of his creation because he was not happy with his first attempt.
Murdering the firstborn in Egypt, including babies.
Handing over the task of taking the pain and suffering to his Son to deal with the problems of his creation.

In this, we see an egotistic God with little to no signs of empathy.

And my comprehension is poor?
You gave those as examples of empathy?
Really, are those empathy to you?
I think I asked for empathy, let me look again.
-------------------------------------------------------

Can't you comprehend that I gave examples of lack of empathy by the God of the Bible that led me to hope that this God is not the Creator?
I would hardly describe acts that demonstrate empathy as reasons for hoping that the God of the Bible is not the Creator.

Another question, are there any examples in the bible of empathy?
One or two, could you find 3?
I suppose with those outstanding comprehension attributes, it's now wonder you didn't answer my other questions.
We both probably need a cup to start the day.Why do you want me to answer that question? Are you hoping for something that will somehow counter the lack of empathy in the God of the Bible?

Not now, there is no remote chance of that.
That wasn't my intent.
And like the other questions, there isn't a remote chance of them being answered either.
