why would he need men to murder others in order to make them more worthy to him? God has power to give and to take life. It seems he would not be asking mere mortal men to be executioners on his behalf.

All Powerful? This is a concept of the earth and men. Power is for men and not God. All of existence is given meaning by random chance events. It is this randomness that makes everything "worthwhile". If all was known, there would be no point to it, like a movie you had seen before a 1000 times.
God acts through all those random events......does this make God all powerful? It is a paradox for us, how can something be both intended and random simultaneously. This is the power of God, as in "the hand of God" and "acts of God".
When men murder and rape and steal, it is through their own volition. The Universe is made the only way it could be while remaining surprising, random and dynamic, rather than known, static and completely boring. This element of randomness and chance is what provides all meaning.
An intended act like murder is not an "act of God". You can think of it as an act of Satan, but it is and act of Man and man alone.
If people would realize the wonder of things they would see the hand of God, instead they get caught up in their desire to "have" a thing.
Some Men use religion to justify their actions. A man's actions can never be justified by God. Men who say it can be are of the lowest order and should be shunned by the rest of us, rather than followed.
Confused? the first gate has opened.....

He does not do that.
Do you have any statistics to show where God has asked mortal men to murder for His sake in say, the past 100 years or so?

That is not God. That is Satan that caused people to murder others. Sometimes God allows things to happen and we don't see the reason why until much much later. Man is given free will in this world. I spent years as an adult believing there was no God because I had three dead relatives who were all children, all died tragically, and never had a chance to live not to mention it completely screwed up both sides of my family. When I was 29 I finally realized that God didn't "cause" those things to happen.

death doesn't seem to be a great issue to God. Obedience and loyalty through blind faith is... just so you can have a taste of His divine twisted mind.

Exactly....that would make us puppets and nothing more. If he was able to "take care of business" himself, there would be no need to use humans to do his bidding.

Whatever are you talking about? God does not kill by using men.
GOD IS ALMIGHTY AND POWEFUL!
No questions asked!
