    This is a handful of cherries. Yahweh has a lot of blood on his hands.

      Mostly God doesn’t kill people in bloody ways.

      There was the world flood, drowning the Egyptian chariots in the Red Sea, the fire and brimstone in Gomorrah and a few other places, turning Lot’s wife into a pillar of salt, the plagues, withholding rain to cause famines, letting Job’s family die of disease just to prove a point…

      Mostly it’s not bloody killing except for when lions and bears are involved.

      Undoubtedly, a metric shit ton of death and destruction…

      But explicitly not a blood god.

      Which honestly makes it worse, they’re killing in the name of a god whose whole deal boiled down to “everybody stop killing everybody”.

      Theres a small slice of extremists that missed the entire point and devoted their lives to harming people that worship the same God in slightly different ways
