Well, Jews, Christians and Muslims worship the same God, of course. My feeling is, what we say about God says more about us than it does about God. As a Conservative Jew, I do not take the Torah as literally dictated by God to Moses, but more as a compendium of sacred texts written over time. In Judaism, God is seen as indescribably, completely, and simply GOOD; the punishments and nastiness in the Torah are explained away by millennia of commentaries (which I'm not expert enough to discuss here).
