The receipts of God's wrath did worse things than that. They were in complete rebellion against God. They also killed babies and raped women and men. As for the babies, it's a matter of your perspective. From an eternal perspective, the babies died quickly and are spending an eternity with God in happiness. For you who believe that this is all there is, it seems pretty horrible.
You worship a god that dooms every single human throughout history to death for the sins of Adam and Eve ... sins committed when they didn't even know right from wrong.
Who was it who said one time, "By the fruit shall you judge the tree"? He was one smart sonofabitch.
Your moral compass has lost all magnetism; you are adrift in an ethical ocean the size of which you have no idea. You must either accept moral relativism, or accept that your god is immoral.
Which is it?

Go ahead and compare christians with everyone else and see who is the most humane.
Do you mean those preachers who get caught snorting meth off their gay lovers' bellies? Or do you mean the priests who assfuck the choirboys? Perhaps you're thinking of those Christians in Africa who are murdering children -- I'm sorry, they're sending them to God very early in life -- in Africa because they're suspected of being witches? Perhaps you're thinking of Catholics and Protestants who murdered thousands at random during the Irish Problems? Or are you talking about the Christians who manned the machinery of the Holocaust?
The evils done by Christians stack up very well against the evils done by non-Christians; in fact, because they believe they have God's countenance, Christians tend to be more and not less amoral -- or even immoral.
