The question: Iff (if and only if) Abraham's God exists, why is It so violent. This speaks to the 'nature of god' as evidenced in the universe. Proponents of Abraham's God claim him to be the Creator of the Universe. The Universe is exceedingly violent. Therefore the nature of Abraham's God must be...

Thanks for actually addressing the thread No probs at all. Welcome to the forum! :D I see you've met a couple of our resident pseudo-trolls. Don't let them put you off.
