I don't find much validity in Christanity, but whether or not the Xtians admit it (most don't), it was born out of Gnosticism.

That kinda makes sense, and would explain why in the new testament god seems like a nice guy, but in the old testament he's such an asshole.

Not really, considering what you have read in the NT was written by other sects of Xtians. By the time that the NT was lumped together, the reigning Xtians had already ran the Gnostics out of town.
The NT god may seem like a nicer guy than he was before, but he still has his moments.
