@Adeptlinguist I know you're feeling angered or triggered somehow and I am sorry for that. The God of Jacob "Jehovah" is Truth & Love and wants nothing hit relationship with you and for you to trust in Him and give all your worries, fears to Him. He'll carry them for you. HE loves you so much he gave you free will knowing this would be too burdensome to bear to be able to remain in His presence, since He doesn't ever want to be separated from you He sent his only Son Christ Jesus to die on the cross for you and I to pay atonement for our sins allowing us to be forever in His Presence.
Sin is what kept us from him and in hell (which translates to be separated from God) Hell is a choice made by you and I, and now we the ability to acknowledge Christ Jesus as or Lord and Savior and be granted eternal Salvation in Heaven.
God is not cruel or mean or evil spirited, but the exact opposite. God is Love, God is Patient, God is Good, God is Faithful and with endless Grace & Mercy.

@Adeptlinguist The fiction I see most often is people's the denial of His "Love, Grace & Tender Mercies," or totally renouncing His existence at all.
I assume you God does exist and His biggest concern is you. He loves you beyond immeasurable amounts and wants nothing but the best for you.

@Iwillwait 1. The Amalekites (1 Samuel 15)
A direct command for total extermination. God instructs King Saul through the prophet Samuel to punish the Amalekites for their opposition to the Israelites during the Exodus.
The Command: "Now go and strike Amalek and utterly destroy all that they have; do not spare them, but kill both man and woman, child and infant, ox and sheep, camel and donkey." (1 Samuel 15:3)
2. The Conquest of Jericho (Joshua 6)
During the entry into the Promised Land, the city of Jericho is the first major target.
The Command: The city and everything in it were "devoted to the Lord."
3. The Seven Nations of Canaan (Deuteronomy 7 & 20)
Before the Israelites entered Canaan, the Mosaic Law established specific rules for warfare against the inhabitants of the land (the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites).
The Instruction: "You must destroy them totally. Make no treaty with them, and show them no mercy." (Deuteronomy 7:2)
4. Midianite Women and Children (Numbers 31)
After a war against the Midianites where the Israelite men killed the Midianite kings and soldiers, Moses became angry that the women were spared.
The Command: Moses, speaking on behalf of God’s previous directives regarding the Midianites' role in leading Israel into idolatry, commanded: "Now kill all the boys. And kill every woman who has slept with a man, but save for yourselves every girl who has never slept with a man." (Numbers 31:17–18)

@Adeptlinguist There was a time that this was directed as commended by God in the Old Testament, this was not directed soly based on race or ethnicity but the practices of their sins.Many of these people were killing their children sacrificing them to Baal or Molech, sending Jesus to die for our sins in the New Testament opened a door for Salvation for all who believes in Christ Jesus.
