Such a question doesn't deserve the dignity of a serious answer.
"Quickly by the sword"! As if genocide is a mercy. Really.
One more bit of evidence demonstrating how Christianity perverts human morality.
You missed the point of my question. Critics of the christian God like to point to the slaughter of the Amalekites and the great flood to show how terrible God is. God has already ordained that we all die, often in infancy or youth, and in terrible ways. Why was he any worse for how he caused the Amalekites to die or those who died in the great flood for that matter? If you want to point out how bloodthirsty he is, you may as well just refer to what he does to us all.

Through humility, soul searching, and prayerful contemplation we have gained a new understanding of certain dogmas. The church no longer believes in a literal hell where people suffer. This doctrine is incompatible with the infinite love of God. God is not a judge but a friend and a lover of humanity. God seeks not to condemn but only to embrace. Like the fable of Adam and Eve, we see hell as a literary device. Hell is merely a metaphor for the isolated soul, which like all souls ultimately will be united in love with God
This is an internet hoax.

Jesus, the man, died.
