Is Your God The Best You Could Do?

How many people have chosen a god that took the time to literally carve some important edicts in stone and encase them in a box that would kill you if you touched it; and those important and protected edicts contained, among other things, instructions on cooking goat meat but nothing about rape?

If so, is this the same imaginary creature that later, having decided to address the rape issue left out of the stone-inscribed rules, told everyone raping a women could result in making her your wife?

If so again, is this also the same god who declares himself to be jealous, angry and vengeful?

And finally, if this still describes your chosen deity, what were the other choices that you turned down in favor of this one?--was this the best you could do?
