It's suppossed to be allegorical. The light represent truth, god is the supreme truth or the ultimate truth, man is imperfect and would not be able to comprehend truth, similar to plato's cave.
As for the killing, that's some of those things in the bible where christians will try to justify god's action for man's inability to see him as the true god. Later on god sends his only begotten son to die for the sin's of man, thus showing his love for mankind. Yet in the bible god floods the earth killing everything in it, he kill the first born of every egyptian, he allows men to stone their disobeying kids to death, and their unfaithful wives as well, etc....

God is not a spirit in the sense of a human spirit. It is God's greatness that would blind a human; we are so far below him that we can not stand to look upon Him. See the Old Testament.
