Ask any sufficiently religious Jew or Muslim, and they will tell you: this, what you are seeing right now, is the Lord almighty working in mysterious ways so that his will be done. If you persist: “so, raped women? Dead children? That’s the plan?”, sufficiently religious Jews will clutch their pearls and ask how dare you ask such a flippant question, and sufficiently religious Muslims will answer “yes” like that bearded guy in that meme.

Wasn’t New Testament (Jesus) the one that changed view that God is all loving?

Yup. My fan theory is that old testament god is the new testament devil.

Fuck that is so good and totally theologically unsound.

Look into Gnosticism. That was part of thier creation myth.
