Are we talking about the same god? The one who, in the O.T. killed innocent women and children just to make a point to one guy? The same god who has no problem with commanding his followers to kill in his name? The same god who condemns the sinful to hell even though if sin existed it would have to be a creation of the same god?
I'd call him a lot more than a trickster. Inhumane and barbaric spring to mind. That's if he were real. Fortunately, gods are just the products of some very imaginative minds.

Yes, we are talking about the same god. He did kill innocent women and children, multiple times, to the egyptians, to Job, and a few others. God did not, however, tell his people to do the crusades, though he has told them to kill people before. He did not create sin, and he does have a problem with sending people to hell: even though he loves them and wants them to be saved, they still keep disobeying his laws!
He is not a trickster, you are just slightly warping his ideas. But then again, you don't believe in gods, so you think your covered.
