Noah's ark story: A loving God killing thousands? O, sorry they were all sinners so they deserved it then? What about the poor "innocent" animals then?
I still am unclear as to what your point is because the god you are describing here does not appear to be the God of the Bible. It is true that the God of the Bible is loving and merciful, but He is also just and judge. The God of the Bible has many attributes but is certainly not all of any one of them but is the perfect blend of all of them. So the fact that God created hell is not inconsistent with the God of the Bible. The fact that God allows even Christians to die is not inconsistent with the God of the Bible. As for the animals, I do not see how this is relevant at all. Have you ever killed anything? A fly, a mosquito, a mouse, an ant? I'm quite sure that a person cannot live to your age and not have done that. Does that make you unloving or immoral? I don't think so. So I think the problem here so far is not inconsistencies in the Bible but your misconception of who and what the God of the Bible is.
