It seems that the Chief Deity of most religions in the past liked to smite people. Maybe they where still growing up and acting like teenagers showing off their muscle before thinking.

I was unaware that God enjoyed smiting. You must be a special superior person to know the mind of God like that. The last I checked is that it is man that likes smiting the other. I bet you would love smiting all the Christians and still feel superior after having done so. :o)

Your question about why God likes smiting is not clear? Do you mean why He did not change bad people into good ones? Do you mean why He asked His people to kill some tribes in the old testament time and took their wives and possessions, and kill some other tribes and all cattles? Do you mean why he allow a woman to turn into salt? Do you mean why he allow an Egyptian king to drawn into the river? Do you mean why he didn't just use his superpower to restore bad things into good things instead of destroying them? Do you ....?

God does not smite. He merely removes the hedge of protection from those who refuse it. He gives you your choice and the natural result is destruction. Without God's protection, we would not be able to survive. Many of those who abuse God's name and cast insults on His followers owe their lives to praying Christian people. The wicked are spared because of the presence of the righteous much like Sodom, as wicked as it was, would have been spared if 10 righteous people were found there by the angels that visited Lot.

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance. -2 Peter 3:9

Because he's a sadistic pychopath. And the source for his "smiting" is the old testament.

Jehovah is Yaldaboath, the vengeful, proud, and arrogant Demiurge.

He doesn't like it, The Bible even says He doesn't like it. But He does what is Just, and Right. That is why He extends us His Mercy through Jesus Christ.

Nobody ever said He liked and it's not our place to question His actions.
