Absolutely agree.
Everything God does is for His glory.

His pocketwatch. William Paley found it in the woods one day on a ramble.
Seriously, doesn't it have to be a measured, reasonable mercy? In other words, we don't want God to be a co-dependent enabler either. Where's the glory in that?

God's work and His glory is to bring to pass the immortality and eternal life of man.

Blood, mostly blood and plenty of it.
That is what makes all The Gods tick.
Kill this, stone that, burn the other one.
Flood the earth and if that doesn't work burn
the earth in an unimaginable conflagration. However The Gods love you. Gross and man made is what it really is. Let us rebel.
Religion, away with them all.
