you know i made a really good observation

[Huggy Bear]

God (who is also apparently Jesus) also commanded the deaths of plenty of people, in addition to straight up genociding the world himself.

Doesn't he not have that right? If the creator placed a man on the earth with a set of rules to abide by, and the man turns to devil worship (which the old Pagan gods were, Baal, Belial, Molech and so on), that he can't punish them? You do realize for instance that people were sacrificing their children to Molech?

As a god worshipped by the Phoenicians and Canaanites, Moloch had associations with a particular kind of propitiatory child sacrifice by parents. Moloch figures in the Book of Deuteronomy and in the Book of Leviticus as a form of idolatry (Leviticus 18:21: "And thou shalt not let any of thy seed pass through the fire to Moloch"). In the Old Testament, Gehenna was a valley by Jerusalem, where apostate Israelites and followers of various Baalim and Caananite gods, including Moloch, sacrificed their children by fire (2 Chr. 28:3, 33:6; Jer. 7:31, 19:2–6).

You're saying God the supreme Judge, doesn't have the right to remove these people from the earth?

Baal (/ˈbeɪl/ BAYL; sometimes spelled Bael, Baël (French), Baell) is in 17th Century goetic occult writings one of the seven princes of Hell. The name is drawn from the Canaanite deity Baal mentioned in the Hebrew Bible as the primary god of the Phoenicians.
