For those asking why there hasn't been a group of people who see the OT God as evil, there already is/was.  a group that originally was around before Christianity called the Gnostics had this view.  There are Many many subsets of this group, as it is more of a philosophy than a religion in many cases.  They believed that the OT God was an imperfect creator and the real god was infinitely perfect, and never really spoke to anyone or actually had anything to do with humans.  Some modern Gnostic thinkers relate this god to the universe or a mental construct of what it means to be good etc... The Orthodox (Catholic) heresey hunters of the early Christian faith persecuted the Gnostics and tried to stamp them out completely, but some of their teachings persist.
