This needs some clarification.

I god, say these people can have this land, so I help them kill every man woman and child on the land and impale the king on a stake for the day. Rinse, repeat. Josiah in a nut shell. Doesn't get any better in Judges.

People have become bad in some unspecified way. I will kill them all including children except one good family. Oh and I think I'll get all the animals except for a pair of each just for good measure. Genesis

People are building a great big tower and that endangers our authority. Lets make them unable to understand each other, destroy the tower, and scatter the people. Genesis

Thou shalt either kill rape victims or marry them to the rapist. Deuteronomy.

Sacrificing sons to other gods is bad. But you should be willing to sacrifice them to me, because I am your god. (Genesis) And I will reward you militarily for promising to sacrifice the first member of your household to greet you when you return in triumph. Bummer it's your daughter and only child. That's the way the cookie crumbles. (Judges).

Divorce your foreign wives: Judges, various prophets, Kings.

Slavery is an old and venerable institution. Here are the rules. . Deuteronomy.

Eating pork, shell fish, cheese burgers, and camels is a horrible sin. Deuteronomy.

Warrior kings and judges are my favorite kind. Thus says the lord. Judges, Kings, Chronicles, various prophets.

Edam did not help Israel and they the descendants of Jacob's twin brother Esau and everything. They shall be cursed forever.

A ruler won't let some slaves go, so I shall kill everyone in the country's first son and the first born males of their livestock just to be sure the point is made. Exodus.

Will those do? Or do we have to go through the Bible line by line.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
