Well firstly, if God killed them then God must exist and if he exists then he can make any rules he wants and send any punishment to law breakers he wants to. Who are we to judge him or say he is wrong?
We have to understand we have not broken laws made up by someone inferior to us or even on the same level as us, no, we have broken God’s law. There is a big difference.
And how do we make up for breaking a law? On earth, if we break a law made by humans we may have to pay a fine, do some community service, lose our job, or go to jail. What is the price for breaking a law made by God? Just as humans got to make the rules and make the punishments for those rules, God made the rules and he gets to decide the punishment. And He says the punishment is death. So, we can argue all day that we only do a “few” “small” sins, but even one of those is punishable by death.
So is it unfair? Nope, that’s the law. What’s unfair is that most of us get to keep living after we break His law and defy him dozens, hundreds and thousands of times.
Secondly what if a death sentence on the children of idol worshipping Egyptians who were persecuting and mistreating the Israelite children was such a dramatic demonstration of God's power and the consequences of defying him that it ultimately saved Billions of people in the future?
We tend to think that if someone dies in the Bible, then it is bad. Death is not necessarily bad. If a God exists and a Heaven exists, then those who have faith in him need not fear death. Also, just because God punishes someone in the Bible doesn’t mean they go to Hell. King David had his firstborn die because he committed adultery with Bathsheba, and yet in the end David was considered a man after God’s own heart. God punished David, Samson, Adam, Eve, Moses, Abraham, and many others but it doesn’t mean they all went to Hell.
So, as for this notion of God being a mean God for killing all the firstborns in Egypt, keep these things in mind: death is not necessarily bad and we are not innocent. We don’t stop buying things from China because of their child limit policy, stop buying certain shoes or clothes because they were made by children, stop shopping at stores because of their views on certain ethical issues, etc. but for some reason we will picket a God who punishes law breakers. (And for those of you who argue that some of the firstborn were infants and they shouldn’t be punished since they can’t understand words let alone laws, the traditional belief is that little children go to heaven anyway so you could say God, in a sense, spared them of a hard earthly life and allowed them into Heaven. Not a very cruel thing at all.)

Ramesses heart hardened after each evidence of Moses' God's potential and can. So Ramesses son became the way ultimately to coach that Moses' God became the wonderful God, not a forged of idols like the Egyptians believed in. The Egyptian toddlers died at a similar time as the angel of death exceeded over the Israeli toddlers.

Let me get this straight. You believe God, but have the attitude that you want to be angry at Him. Is that right?
That was the same attitude Pharaoh had, and look what happened to him!
Are you sure that you are picking the right side to be on?
You admit that He "killed anybody who was againts him" , and you want to pick a fight with Him?
Are you thinking with all the ability that you have?!

He gave his son to death because he loved you. Everyone of us have to pay for our sins, but instead of letting that happen He choose to suffer himself than seeing you perish. We are unable tu raise above our condition. But Jesus come to earth, lived a perfect life, and now we can take all the credit. He instead was charged with our sins and punish.
Those who will be destroyed at the end, will deserve their fate, for the simple fact that they could have taken Jesus gift for free but they didn't.
This is all about Gods love.

You said yourself, God sent His Son to die for your sins, so that we have salvation through Him. There is no greater love than that.
John 3:16 says it all:
For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life.

He will throw alive in to hell, everyone not washed clean in the blood of the lamb, and they will live forever in hell. They will get their just reward for all their sins. If you have the blood of Jesus Christ on you, your sins will be gone and you will live forever with God.
You fear puny man, who can only destroy your body, you best fear God who can throw your whole soul into hell.

Tuberoot, I would never follow anything that was using fear to gain followers.
