I think that labeling what is right and wrong here isn't going to really go far in seeing the others side. Maybe you can agree on what to do in this life accoring to what you believe, and then have a talk about the particulars later???

If JCPs judgement is based on a God of the Old Testement, it's mearly his opinion, he can't be wrong, he never said Fact, anywhere.

"I don't mean to offend, but that is my perception of him, according to the available evidence of his action(s)"

Raised in a culture where people tell you constantly about the infaliable word of God, can lead one to use that same logic to make this statement, he uttered.

I think that labeling God positively or negatively is punishment to yourself because it limits our potential to experiance It, without attachment.
