Atrocities in the Bible

I'm not really a proponent of abortion but it's kind of maddening to me that he would say children in this Biblical context would be better off murdered than growing up in an evil society, and that's ok, but abortion isn't ok even if children would be better off dead than growing up in poverty, etc.

Also, the thing that bugs me is that if God was going to save the world with Jesus, why would he wait so long to send Jesus, all the while commanding so many people to be slaughtered and doomed to hell? It's dumb. (Besides the fact that was already mentioned--God was sending his son to save people from himself.) Further, why would he even create people knowing that these types of atrocities, and all the other atrocities in the world, were going to happen? I would say that makes God not good. (But I guess Christians say that a moral relativist can't say God is not good.)

I know this Bible stuff is old news to you but I've never examined the Bible critically before because I was taught to accept it unquestioningly. The more I look at it the more I think it's completely absurd that people would follow it in this day and age.
