It is a horrific litany of murders and it is a very long list. Suffice it to say it is a list of murders estimated in the vicinity of 25 million people let alone all the other living beings. For those interested, you can see the complete horrific list here:
Drunk With Blood
So, my question to the xtians is, how do you reconcile an "ethical" god with the god in the bible that has committed all these atrocities?
Two ways off the top of my head, take your choice:
1. Judgment isn't murder.
2. Looking at ourselves, it's special pleading to call such actions atrocities. Consider that on a bellyful of leftover turkey...

No, it's because we've heard this a zillion times before. I'm only responding because you're particularly douchy.
