The whole Old Testament is Shut the fuck up and do what we say God want or else...

Actually it is not.
Certain moments might stick out to people like Achan, but those moments are few and far between. It is kinda hard to consider the chonology as you read through it but most of these stories are hundreds of years apart.

The actual theme is how God gave his law and covenant, but it could not be followed. The people constantly fell short, God sent a prophet or did some miracles to try and fix it but ultimately they turned away.

And this is what makes Christianity interesting. It fits so well with that theme and even addresses it.
Islam suggests it is a piece of the pie too, yet it doesn't fit so tightly like a puzzle piece as the gospels did with the OT.
