Im something like a religitard myself but i cant accept the constant animal sacrifces that the OT says is required and the MASS MURDER the Isreal committed seems to be supported by the Bible.
Not to mention the fact that it basically says youll be tortured forever if you dont believe but then it says that God loves you. I question it sometimes.
Maybe those parts were written by governments at that time for control

The god of the bible prefers blood over health. Just ask Cain and Abel.

If you go back to the story of Noahs Ark at the end of the flood, The ark landed on Noahs mountain. Noah then built a alter gave thanks and his family went down from the mountain. Noah then made some "laws" or house rules for his family, planted grape vines, set up a few camps where his family camped depending on the season.

Noah had three sons Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Noah lived for a long time and lived to see his grandchildren and great grandchildren. If you go to , Genesis 10:25 you will find the birth of Peleg...

Genesis 10:25
25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan.

This refers to Noah dividing up the land between his three sons (who were Shem, Ham, and Japheth) and their families. The Family of Ham was given Africa as their land. However Canaan who was Ham son and Noahs grandson did not go and settle in Africa but instead settled in what is now Israel. Abrahams family were the proper owners of this land. Abrahams family later became known as the Israelis. This is the reason why the people of Canaan were killed in the bible.

Animal sacrifice was an extremely common practice held by all cultures of the middle east at the time... In fact, most of their neighbors practiced child sacrifices to the god Molech.

Why does God condone murder? Well, God's judgements are law, and thus God's judgements are completely natural outcomes for certain behaviors... For instance, if you are given over to a reprobate mind, God will send various 'curses' your way (which you invited upon yourself)... Such as homosexuality, pedophilia, etc---these are natural outcomes...

As far as invasions and mass-murder. God makes it 'clear' that these phenomena are 'judgements' against unrighteous nations--and the judgements are usually carried out by other unrighteous nations... Basically it's "Karma"...

We live in a very brutal world and God had purposed to establish a nation for Himself during a very dark time in our history--with that said, only nations with an extremely brutal foreign policy would survive.

Intelligence warfare is nothing new, the early nation of Israel was under constant threat from outside cultures bringing in new ideas (gods) in order to convert the populace. Priests, Kings, and Governors were constantly reminded by the 'Prophets' of the 'covenant' they made with God ("I will bless you as a nation and will bless the entire world through you if you follow my commandments"). The rulers would then notice how their nation was covertly invaded and that it was too late to adopt a more peaceful solution to the problem as much of their populace had already converted to the worship of Baal and thus they were no longer of the culture of the hebrews and the only solution was ethnic cleansing... The rulers of the world still do these things today...

Have you looked at the world around you? This isn't some peaceful harmonious situation---We live in a brutal world that we need to come to grips with. Humans are not peaceful by nature as some would like to tell you. If there is a Creator-God, then he must have a wide-range of attributes... People consider things like 'anger' to be outright 'evil'---But what about the man who protects his family using any means necessary? What about anger of the mistreatment of others? This is called righteous anger---and God is all about it...

As far as 'eternal punishment'... This is something that is defined as eternal physical torment by the masses because they do not understand those things which are spiritual... The underground abode where people are tormented (by) their crimes is the subconscious... The fire is condemnation---Hell is here on earth, it is the state of the ego being separate from the Godhead... The Bible makes it clear that the 'evil doers' will be raised from the dead and give an account of their doings and afterwards they will subject to the "second death which is eternal" and the "smoke of their torment will ascend forever"---this means the memory of the torment associated with being separated from the Godhead will remain in the minds of those who were redeemed from the earth forever---This will ensure that a future rebellion does not occur and thus the 'satan-power' will never rise again.

Those who are evildoers will be seen by all humanity and their hate for all good things will solidify the punishment of eternal death (which they would rather have than live in a world where evil is not possible in the first place)... so we see a win-win situation here...

Thus all humans will collectively say: "Great and righteous are your judgements" ---there will be no argument---there will be no secret---all will be revealed to all---and through the witness of the righteous judgement of all, humans will re-connect with the Godhead via His 'awesome' and ego will once again be united with the Godhead and God will become "All in All" and the end-result will be the creation of a new universe completely different from the one we live in now... no sun or moon--the cyclical/dualist/dog-eat-dog ego-nature will be gone forever... Those who fear this are lovers of evil. This world is awe-inspiring but much of it is also 'awful'...
