It depends on whom you are talking to. Jewish people of Moses' time understood Elohim differently. They knew there are no pantheon of gods, but during the time of King David, there was introduced in Psalms a congregation of gods. Of course there were established societies before Moses' exodus to a promised land, but some scholars cannot accept the existence of spiritual beings, therefore they concluded that Moses just copied creation myths of early settled peoples surrounding him and his people. There were fallen angels exposed in the Bible but in any of Ugaritic creation myths, are they any mention of angels? Yahweh is also an invented name. I said, Tetragrammaton, ineffable.
No, the God of the Bible does not need any of his qualities grow. He gives life;he takes it away; merciful and just. Unlike some human beings like the aborticidal Richard Dawkins who is an advocate of human abortion. You read for yourself

What anthology do you mean? The 66 books of the Holy Bible? No wonder atheists are divided in their standpoints because they evaluate Biblical truths as disparate religious folklore. The Holy Bible is inspired writings when if the congregation holding it and if any man reading its contents understood the messages found in it. Of course for you, it seems irrelevant to "honor your mother and father" especially if you happen to be a "human being" with a Down syndrome. Although in other myths/folktales, this commandment might appear, it is because it runs in the intellect of human beings, hardwired in human conscience.
Intolerance? Of course, the universe was a product of a single mind and out of intolerance. If chaos is tolerated this earth cannot survive even before the birth of chimpanzees. Your existence is also a product of a single mind dictator; you can't choose to displace your nostrils. If the Supreme Geneticist tolerate the free flow of humankind's existence, he would have displaced the beautiful faces of those who doesn't acknowledge his existence, the ingrates.
Moronic because you haven't scrutinized the authenticity of like "Creator-Human Conversation like that of the Biblical Job" Or have you tried?
It is still cowardice. If really Dawkins stands as the global representative of today's atheists, he will not write "God Delusion" because he doesn't understand the god/s of unknown tribes during the time of Noah. Besides, he has not a slightest idea of what a Biblical spirit or mind is. All he has is this phrase as quoted "we can all be wrong." So, for me, he is absolutely wrong in cleaving to nonsense. And for you, you just have appreciated the details handed down to Canaanites by the fallen angels whose supreme purpose is to confuse the most gullible like you..
