This = me, and I have no problem at all with someone telling me I'm getting it wrong.
Beryana, please contribute to the conversation. But please don't assume that others who may not be Catholic are just relying on the newspapers or the Wiki. No need to be amused.
I have to admit that this claim always bothers me. The "NT God" that Jesus talks about can be found all through the OT, the psalms and the prophets in particular. Meanwhile, the "OT God" sure seems to make an appearance in Revelation and elsewhere in the NT.

This is true, and it is just laziness that lets me break them apart like that. (Also probably the fact that I think Revelation has little to do with the 'end of the world' and more about Nero and the persecution of the Christians by the Romans).
But there is a big difference between "go kill your neighbors and you can rape their women and take their stuff" and "Love thy neighbor." Again, simplified for the sake of my own personal laziness and the love of my Chipotle Burrito that I'm prioritizing.
