Do you want to know what i feel about poverty assuming the bible is true or do you want to find me an atrocity in the bible and tell you who i think is responsible? And if it's the latter then which atrocity in the bible?
You need to try and make your questions more details and concise in the future because while you may recognise what you meant there is no guarantee anyone else will.

any will do
Or we can discuss historic or current attrocities commitet in the name of God, like the crusade, jihad, etc.
Or we could discuss if the Bible were true what do you feel about murder, poverty, hunger? Take your pick.
As simply as i can:
This all depend on whether or not God is real.
Assuming he is real:
The acts in the bible portray God a a very unstable individual. One minuet he is loving and caring, the next he is jealous, petty and murderous. He is also very inconsistent.
The Jihad and crusades would be his choosing not to intervene and save lives if it were the case they were not his orders. If he did order the crusades then he may or may not have had a good reason. you can't be sure, because as i said above, the bible shows him to be psychologically unstable.
The absolute lack of aid for the suffering children of the world is just disgusting and extremely immoral.
Assuming he's not real:
The bible is a collection of bullshit stories written by primitive men, explaining the emotional inconsistency of the god.
The Jihad and Crusades could have either been an extension of genuine faith gone horribly wrong, but i think they are most likely the large-scale manipulation of masses of people for evil causes by a politically motivated authority.
The children are a tragedy and it's out job to help the best we can.
