He supposidly gave us the ten commandments as guidlines to live our lives by as a basic set of guidlines. Yet he could not follow these guidlines himself. All throughout the bible God murdered people left and right. In fact according to the bible hes probably murdered more people than anyone throughout all of history. How many people do you think the flood killed alone?

God can not and did not murder God gives life and can righteously require it.

God is all powerful, great, wonderful and amazing. He did not sin. He made the commandments for us to follow, and his killings were not murder they were a judgement. As for the story of NOAH, God told Noah to build the ark, he also gave the people a chance to repent and ask God to spare them, yet they continued on their evil ways, and God sent down his jusgement. He did not kill for fun. He is a merciful God, but if you do not have the enought faith to place it in him, there is nothing he can do.

Suppose you were God, and you created a race of beings. You gave them a set of rules to live by. Instead of obeying the rules, they laughed in your face, spit at you, murdered innocents, hurt one another and lived totally violent and horrible lives. If you decided to wipe them out and start over, would it be wrong? Why is it wrong for the Creator to have the final say over life and death? He created us. We did not create Him. We have no rights except what He gives us. How can you argue with an all powerful being? He gave us life, and He can take it away.

God cannot be defined
As spinoza said to define god is to deny him
We must not see god as a separate entity
God is goodness personified there cannot be any sin done by god!
Th entire process of birth, evolution & death are a part of nature!
So destroy that ego self...because every being is a part of this universe!
Cheers!

You don't get it do you. Men killed men. God never instructs anyone to act out violence. This is man's doing.
God is love; therefore he must be good, and his goodness is so great and real that it cannot contain the small and unreal things of evil. God is so positively good that there is absolutely no place in him for negative evil. Evil is the immature choosing and the unthinking misstep of those who are resistant to goodness, rejectful of beauty, and disloyal to truth. Evil is only the misadaptation of immaturity or the disruptive and distorting influence of ignorance. Evil is the inevitable darkness which follows upon the heels of the unwise rejection of light. Evil is that which is dark and untrue, and which, when consciously embraced and willfully endorsed, becomes sin.

Sin is deliberate disobedience to God. It's absurd to think He could sin.
If you're blaming all those deaths on God, you must also give Him credit for all those lives in the first place. Very well, then--see you in church!

If man had not sinned and rejected God, he would never have had to deal with death, which remains the universal penalty for sin.
God cannot sin, and God is not bound by the laws he makes for man.
If he was, then he wouldn't be God.

No, see, those were for us. You cannot teach a lion to eat grass and leaves. It has to eat meat to do it's part in nature. It is the Lambs job to eat grass. God is no hypocrite, because he is like the lion. He must go against his commands to teach us. It was Jesus' job to be sinless, but by a man's standards, because that's who we are to follow suit after.
Yeah! Go team Christ!

In the book of Job, God tells us that only He has the right to give and take away. It is not murder when God takes away.

The commandment you are referring to is better translated Thou shalt not commit murder. As God is the judge of this world and its creator his judgments are righteous. If a judge condemns a man to death under the law is he guilty of murder? The answer is no.

God ain't got no oversight. What court you expect to try him in, huh? It's as they say, "if power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely."
As for us orcs, that's ecsactly like we like it.
A'course, maybe there was some oversight? "The wages of sin is death" or something like that. Maybe Nietzsche was right. Maybe God sinned and then died? That would explain a lot...
