Why does God do things we usually associate with evil? Like killing the first born sons of Egypt, who being young are faultless. Like killing all life on Earth but for Noah, his family, and some animals. Like all life in Sodom and Gomorrah some of whom were innocent as per "if you find but one who is oinnocent I'll spare them..." And he spares Lot and his family. Wiping out entire towns and cities for the sins of a few isn't typically the act of "good guys." Yet God does that rather a lot. God also tells the Exodus Jews arriving in Israel to annihilate the 7 nations already residing there in Deuteronomy 7
Deuteronomy 7
1
When the LORD your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations--the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you--
2
and when the LORD your God has delivered them over to you and you have defeated them, then you must destroy them totally. [1] Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy.
Destroy them totally, make no treaty and show them no mercy. That's not anyone's idea of good.
So explain for us please why you think God is good.
