"God" advocates killing and murdering innocent animals and children, stoning of homosexuals etc. There is no love in him. Jesus H. Christ was a black magician and necromancer who lied, stole and cheated. So is this where Christians get their moral standards?

Look at the terrible intolerance, hatred, bigotry, homophobia and persecution posted by Christians towards others - what morals?!

The god the Old testament describes as jealous and angry never existed. It was a tribute to the sick mind of the authors that imagined him. There is another God though that calls Himself love. The way the OT is written it is easy to get the true God and the desperate imaginations of truly sick people confused, especially if confusion is our goal. The moral compass you claim does not exist is the love the true God is. Jesus was a Jew. He was Gods Son. He never claimed to be anything else. He certainly is none of the derogatory things your sick mind has invented. Christians have moral standards. They dont lie or invent rhetoric as you have done. There is a big difference.

"God" does none of those things. Man's concept of God 4,000 years ago was very primitive. The people of the day wrote about the concept of God which existed then. 1000 years later their concept had changed greatly and they wrote about they wrote about their concept of God then. 500 years later the various books and oral stories which existed were written down. The concept of God was far greater than it was earlier then as well. Then finally 500 years after that Jesus came on the scene and taught us a complete new concept, which He proved by His actions, His death and His Resurrection.
God never changes. Man's concept of God has changed dramatically. But God is who He is no matter what man thinks He is. The Old Testament is the story of one people's GROWTH in faith and understanding of God. As time went on He revealed more and more about Himself.
Oh, and our "moral compass" has already been scientifically shown to be innate.... encoded in our DNA.
