You're confusing legality with morality. People are convicted of crimes, they are not convicted for being "bad people". Being a "bad person" is not a crime, and doing a "bad thing" is not, as much as we may want it to be, illegal.
Here, in our country, no lie I might have ever told is enough to warrant the sentence your god has decreed - because we, as reasonable and compassionate beings...have determined that the punishment must fit the crime. Your god is neither reasonable nor compassionate, and obviously this "punishment befitting the crime" business is nonsense to him. It;s just blood, blood, blood, and more blood, no matter what. Go, be with him, move to his country, where he writes the laws...stop dawdling around here...if you think that he has a better thing going. Why are we even having this discussion, and why are you still here?

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom.

I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
