What do you guys think about this?

I can tell you what the Gnostics think about this.
They believe the (Old Testament) God that made the material world and everything in it, is bad.
That the true God is a spiritual God and a higher being.
And the only way to salvation is through knowledge of this higher, "true, unknowable God".
Gnostic belief predates Christianity btw.
Personally, as I think I've stated on these boards before, I'm not religious and that all religious people should be beaten, severely, with large sticks until they all realise how stupid they're being.
But that's just my personal opinion.
So to answer your question (should you be Gnostic). Yes, God is judgemental...not to mention ignorant.
