I have heard Christians try to justify this stuff. I think it is sick and not justifiable or acceptable in any way.
But I wanna see what others think. Is god really worthy of worship? Have a read of these then tell me your thoughts.

"And he smote the men of Bethshemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the LORD, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the LORD had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter." (I Samuel 6:19)

This is hypothetical, cause i know atheists don't believe in God. Just tell me if you think he is worthy of being praised and worshiped.
@Steve: Not all were enemies. Many were innocent. How can babies and infants be enemies of God? And why do they deserve to die?
Are you saying these kind of atrocities are okay?
@Omegan What are you talking about? I was asking out of curiosity. No offense was intended.
Also i notice you did not answer the question. I merely wanted to know if you think the above acts were justified and if god is really good.
@Turatle i watched that video and i see your point. I agree with that vid.
