Horrible things in the bible

[Chad32]

I know that a benevolent being that wants what's best for the world shouldn't be so hung up on free thinking people not devoting their lives to him that he's willing to kill everyone who doesn't. And is willing to have his own people tortured just in case they aren't one hundred percent loyal. You can say he rewarded Job with twice as much stuff as he had before, but I doubt Job had any trust in Yahweh ever again.

So if babies killed by the Canaanites went to heaven, and babies killed by the Isrealites went to heaven, why mention the fact that the Canaanites killed babies as if that had much if anything to do with why Yahweh was pissed at them?

You're right that I can't get over how Yahweh is portrayed as the bible, because christians portray him as a benevolent god of love. If I could get over it, I'd still be a christian.
