The Bible contains many instances that show God doing things that no moral human would do. Not even the most right wing loony. For instance.
If you had God’s power, you would not use Genocide against man and beast on the earth. Jesus said he came to cure those in need, not kill them, so you would cure those in Noah’s day and would not kill them all.
In Egypt, you would not harden Pharaoh’s heart but would leave it soft and let him let the Jews go. You would not punish the first born for what their parents did. If anything, you would punish the guilty and not the innocent.
To the many other instances where God ordered massacres of babies, you would not as your better morals would make you care or cure and not kill.
I have been speaking to many Christians and Muslims over the last few years and have noted that many grudgingly agree that God is rather barbaric and immoral but that they forgive him for all his less savory decisions and usually say they do so because God can do whatever he likes to us because he created us.
Christians and Muslim thus recognize their better morals. That being the case, why have you Christians and Muslims chosen to follow a God whose morals are inferior to your own?
Religions are supposed to be all about morals yet you seem to ignore that yours are better than the God’s that you follow.
Why do you follow a God whose morals are lower than your own?

Kills very few in the Bible and those only on the order of God (see "Job"

Not exactly worse than the old genocidal, send you to hell, etc. good God in my book.
