Directly (like drowning them) or indirectly (like the plauge).

and just think about how many he tortured after their deaths...
remember you have to pick the right faith, according to the literal bible. there also seemed to be a lot of "sinners" in that book.

God create human to have life and
John 3:16
16"For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,[a] that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.
Rom 7:5-13
5For when we were controlled by the sinful nature,[a] the sinful passions aroused by the law were at work in our bodies, so that we bore fruit for death.
6But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.
Struggling With Sin
7What shall we say, then? Is the law sin? Certainly not! Indeed I would not have known what sin was except through the law. For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, "Do not covet."[b]
8But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, produced in me every kind of covetous desire. For apart from law, sin is dead.
9Once I was alive apart from law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died.
10I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life actually brought death.
11For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment, deceived me, and through the commandment put me to death.
12So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.
13Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! But in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it produced death in me through what was good, so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

Old Testament - Eye for an Eye - a bunch
New Testament - One (Romans did most of the rest)

None actually, seeing as we ate of the tree in the garden.
Take some responsibility,we brought these things on
ourselves, by disobeying. One slip & its a downward slide.

A lot. But only as punishment for what THEY did, and only after sending prophets to warn them.
Read the Bible for more clarification.

And Christians have often told me to look upon the Bible as a love story...yikes!
Is it perhaps the love story of a mass-murdering control freak or something?

None!
Genesis 2:17 says, "but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil you shall not eat, for in the day that you eat of it you shall surely die."
That is man set out on his own destruction. John 10:10 says that God wants to give life, not destruction.
All death is ultimately a result of man's sin.

If you count the flood that Noah survived the number would have to be up in the billions.

That which kills is called as Mara (devil/satan) by Buddha. So it was not God but the devil.
