I've had quite enough of this sappy "IF GOD WUZ WEEL TEHN WHY DID MUH PUPPY DIE?!?!?!" bullshit in arguments of spirituality.
I've said this before, but there's no obligation for the omnipotent master of the universe to be "kind and loving" according to meager human-made standards of ethos. If any of our morals are true, it's because god invented them and gave them to us; and if he didn't give them to us, whatever we believe is dogshit.
Why? Because Might is Right. God is omnipotent. Therefore he is right. No amount of force is sufficient to resist him, so it's a lost cause to do anything but submit.
If God tells you to slaughter millions and you disobey because you think it's "wrong," you risk losing the entire human species to God's wrath. Get over your fantasy altruism and start thinking about the greater good of your species. It's not wrong if God says it's not wrong.
And no, you can't start an armed revolt against God either. It's not like Clash of the Titans where he feeds upon your glory to live--if that were the case, he could've just refrained from putting his creative energy into humans in order to conserve his energy. Which means that we need him more than he needs us.
Disobey god, lose your civilization to him. If one disobeys, the nation suffers. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few.
Blood for the Blood God.
