Well he did spare Isaac's life when Abraham was about to sacrifice him on the alter, but you have to question if this is God being merciful considering he asked for Isaac's sacrifice in the first place.
Yahweh is a sick, cruel, twisted and seriously f*cked up individual, and I challenge any christians to prove he was otherwise in the old testament.
When God ordered Saul to slaughter everyone to make room for the them to live he spared the king. God kicked him out and got someone else to do it.
Oh yes, he's that merciful.
