IMO, they don't believe their god is a mass murderer because they cherry pick and compartmentalize, and they have to because they're not prepared to believe in a god that's a mass murderer.
They do like to focus hard on when Jesus said to love everyone, including your enemies. It's a nice message, and sounds like christianity is all peace and love and stuff. The problem is that's not the only thing he said. And those who believe he's the same guy as the one from the old testament should not ignore the stuff he did before he came down and started trying to preach humility and kindness and forgiveness.

King David wrote that this would be an impossible task.

Sorry, misread the quote. You meant the getting away would be impossible. Not the invincible part. But some christians believe seperation from god is a thing that happens. So what about that?
