To withhold the rod is to put your child in the hand of Satan and co-operate with him in sending your child to hell! - Ray Comfort

[The spider of sin] sleeps quietly, unseen by the human eye. How do we then bring him into the light? The answer is the stick of God's Law. It is the only means of revealing him. If we open up the Moral Law, it will cause his ugly head to appear... Later, if you are willing, we will lure him out into the open and with the help of God, spray him with the "gospel spray" of the blood of Jesus Christ.

… the reason your conscience has nothing to say about your atheism is that atheism is not a moral issue. It's an intellectual issue.

If you still want to paint the Old Testament God as being mean and the New Testament God as being nice, please realize that the God of the New Testament proclaimed the death sentence on every man, on every woman, and on every child of the human race.
