If you have ever had negative thoughts about Yahweh, you are close to a Gnostic Christian.
You have shown that you can think freely and have a decent moral sense as compared to Christians and their less than moral sense that allows them to adore a genocidal God.
John Lennon, “It seems to me that the only true Christians were the Gnostics,”
In fact, many think that the best Christians are Gnostic Christians. Even if you are an atheist, you are likely a better Christian than most Christians as their morals have been corrupted by their beliefs enough to have them adore a vile genocidal God that Gnostic Christians call demiurge. In a sense, not that she exists, but demiurge is equivalent to Satan.
Please remember that Gnostic Christians so not hold any supernatural beliefs and religiously speaking, create much more peaceful people than Christians. The Cathars were a good example of this truth.
I do not blame you for not wanting to associate with the Christian name.
There is quite a difference though between a Christian and a Gnostic Christian. That is why Christians killed us the first chance they got after becoming idol worshipers.
Isn't that more like being a Deist, though? Believing there's some sort of higher being responsible for creation, but not necessarily one that lights bulls on fire and summons floods?
There's a bit of a difference between me and a Deist. A Deist is someone who believes we can get to know God through scientific proof and natural things we can observe, and sh!t.
I think there's a God, I think trying to observe him/her/it or descibre him/her/it from a human perspective is flawed since we cannot possibly fathom a higher force. I think it's benevolent... I hope it is, anyways.
The biblical God to me is essentially some Lovecraftian horror. A powerful being whose mind seems quite alien in terms of the way it behaves and what it deems acceptable.

I think with God or some such higher power, I'd subscribe to the idea that -- much like a parent teaching a child -- it'll give us freedom to choose and learn from mistakes or gain from success. That way, we can always better ourselves.
I've heard about that story, and I've heard Yahweh killing people in The Old Testament. I assumed that God decided to have mental breakdowns whenever he got pissed off by his own creations, which isn't exactly a nice point. But that's not what really makes me question God, what made me question God was the concept of Hell. Hell is supposed to be an eternal punishment for people who reject God, and people in Hell get tortured forever and are never taken out or given any moments of relief. I honestly believe that is extreme because people who reject God in their temporary Earthly lifetime shouldn't get such a severe punishment, especially when it lasts forever. That's probably the most "negative" thought I've had about Yahweh. When I was a Muslim, I never questioned the concept of Hell because I was psychologically conditioned to obey and not question any of Allah's teachings like all Muslims are.
True but the religionists buy into that idiocy in droves.
They will even abandon a preacher who tells them the truth about hell for another preacher who will feed the love of hate for all those not of their ilk.
Well, humans are simple creatures trying to be complex. We'd rather blame all of life's problems on a singular entity rather than a complicated, interconnected web that has nothing to do with us specifically, it's just fateful circumstance.
I'm not psychologically conditioned to not question any of Christianity's history because I only support the teachings of Jesus from the Gospel as something to support. The Old Testament has got the most violent shit in the Bible, and I don't watch any over the top Bible preachers because they give me a headache.
