Why is god in the bible so different than god today...?
According to the old testament, god used to send down fire to kill people who opposed him, literally talk to people and explicitly tell them what to do, perform supernatural miracles daily, and tell armies of men to rape women and kill babies.
What happened that suddenly gave him a change in heart? He hasn't killed anybody, or explicitly spoken to anybody in a thousand years. Is he hiding? Is he just too depressed to do anything?
And why doesn't he support rape and baby killing anymore?

God was shaping Israel and the vagabond nations around them. Israel was continuously referred to as renegades and since God selected them to establish His legacy God kept a tight reign on them as they tried to stray. As far as the babies are concerned, it was quite common in that day for children to grow up and turn their attention to a nation that conquered their previous generation that's why they would kill them sometimes. The women were led by their pagan husbands who God was tired of and so at times when Israel defeated a tribe the single men of Israel was given the OK by God to take the women and marry them thus bringing the pagan women and offspring to the true God. I know some people don't have the patience to study the Bible but I wish they would not malign the Scriptures and God.

Many of these things still happen, like God talking to people and performing supernatural miracles everyday.
I don't know where you got the rape idea from, but killing babies did happen in order to wipe out a group of people. This was before Jesus came in order for all of the world to be saved. Back then, Israel being the chosen nation was the only righteous.

first of all God is the same as yesterday today forever and I don't remember ever reading anything in the Bible about God commanding armies of men to rape & kill e-mail me back with the bible verse or scripture that tells about that. and I will start looking my self then I will start praying for you.

Because the bible was written by man, and as time went on, man realized that rape and killing babies is just wrong.

You are confusing the Creator with His adversary,
& attributing His adversary's actions to the Creator.
That amounts to libelous slander...

Nope, God is the same in the old testament, the new testament, and today. He is definitely fake in all of them. Pick up a science book, we don't need God any more.

Your ignorance shows..
You're talking about the age of the Law.
Now we are in the age of Grace.
The next age you'll get to feel the heat again because it is the age of Judgment.
