when he has murdered so many people and animals?
Wikipedia estimates the human population in the third millineum BCE to be around 30 million. Therefore in the flood, Genesis 7:23,
"And every living substance was destroyed which was upon the face of the ground, both man, and cattle, and the creeping things, and the fowl of the heaven; and they were destroyed from the earth: and Noah only remained alive, and they that were with him in the ark. "
Then you have another 1000 in Gen 19:24, as he hails down fire and brimstone.
He kills Lots wife for looking, Er for just being wicked, and Onan for having a wa-nk
7th Egyptian Plague: Hail Exodus 9:25, must have taken out about 30,000, and he then kills every Egyptian firstborn child. Ex.12:29-30, 500,000, and wipes out the Egyptian army Ex 14:28 1000 more

Mat 27:25 is used by christians to blame the Jews for the death of Jesus - to justify their persecution for twenty centuries - because they chose a murderer over Christ?
Now you'd think that his Dad, with that many killings would have been accused and hopefully convicted of murder by now. Especially when the killer is so darned proud of his killings. But no. No one has ever taken God to court.
God has publically made terrorist threats and causing -
fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.
he has also admitted to the killing of millions of people, are you not holding up a flawed charichter as a role model?

Because he is what Jemhasb? A murdering jealous hateful god, or a Kind compasionate caring sort of diety?
I am sorry, the only evidence I have for God, is in the Bible, and it is full of evidence for his wrath, i stopped counting beofre I had reached 1/3 of the way into the old testament, and the death toll was huge.

Andrew, I do not want to attribute any acts that have erronously been done in his name, but the ones he takes full credit and pride within.

Let me look for som truth in the follow pages...
1 Samuel 15:2-3
Thus saith the LORD of hosts ... go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ***.
ok, so the underlying message here, is
Genocide is ok?

Threats such as that were needed in the era that the Bible was written I think. There was such lawlessness and depravity that people would only take notice of shock tactics.
Kinda backfired on them in the end though.

Because He is. You have to look at each incident in context. Also you need to check out the meanings of terms like "God hardened their hearts".
WRT Egypt, how many Hebrews did the Egyptians kill? Through forced labour, killing all the small children (when Moses was born) etc. Egypt also forgot where her wealth came from.
Read the whole book and and figure what would have happened had the enemies not been wiped out.

not literal history. The Bible is a book of spiritual truths, not a an account of exactly what happened, where, when, how, and why. There is an inner meaning to all apparently 'historical' events in the Bible.
