new testament, matthew chapter 2

new testament, matthew chapter 2
so while reading this chapter i couldn`t help but to think a lot of wtf?
god knew that this king was wanting to kill Jesus Christ so i would`ve thought that this all powerful, all knowing all present, all loving all merciful god would have handled this situation a little better? first thing why not just create a king that doesn`t want to kill the divine son of god? why do the wise men have to pretty much leave everything and everyone behind that they love and care for instead of god just inducing a heart attack on the evil king and before the king corrupts his son that would take his? Or hell he is pretty good at mass genocide why not just use that shit right there and take out Jerusalem or just idk talk to them rationally and let them know what was going down or something I mean geese he god right? Instead the wise men have to runaway then Joseph has to take his newborn demi god and run and hide while herod send his army to kill EVERY CHILD 0-2 YEARS OLD IN BETHELAHAM AND ALL THE COASTS THEREOF? WTF? THEN HE JUST KINDA LIVES OUT HIS LIFE AND DIES. So then has to secretly tell them that it is safe to go to Israel. They figure out that herods son took over so they went to Nazareth like a sharp left turn cause the all knowing god must not have saw that coming! Anyone wanna defend this story cause this just seems like a bad cia movie. Thinking

Worse; it's like something George Lucas came up with.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
