I find it really funny that some people are so misguided they take little snipits from verses to try and prove God is evil or that the Bible is false. I also find it funny that people think God had no right to kill off what he considered evil and give Israel things. Or punish kings and the Jews themselves when they slipped up.
Think of the earth as a little child. That child craps on your food and tells you to eat shit and go straight to hell. Do you put up with that or do you punish the child?
Why is it wrong for God to punish the child when you yourself would punish the child. Just because God loves everyone on earth doesn't mean we are free to do anything we please.
Think of it a second. If you created a universe and a planet then created intelligent life. You expect that intelligent life to serve you or at least respect your rules. Like your dog you expect your dog to go for a dump outside if the dog goes inside you rub his nose in it and punish him.You would also favour the creations who abided by your rules and who treated you well while you would disfavour the ingrates who mocked your laws and were plain ingrateful.
Fact is God is perfectly justified in doing what ever the heck he wants, no he did not directly contradict himself. He is God he created you and everything around you where do you get the balls to say "God you should behave this way because we think your laws are bad and well we think your unfair".
We are God's children and like our children when they misbehave they must be punished or set straight. If you never teach your child or punish them how would they ever do anything good? We are God's children and when we sin if God chooses to punish us it is his God given wait a sec thats sorta funny. He has every right to do as he pleases to any of us!
