  I'd have to go with number 9 - God killing David's innocent child. Unlike some of the other examples, where it could be argued that it was not God himself that killed the victims, the scriptures are clear that God killed the child.

  I like the bears killing the children too.

  42 for gore factor - Phineas drives his spear through the privates of a couple getting it on in a tent. Nice.

  I don't even want to friends with this guy, let alone worship him!

  The bears is the one that always comes to mind when I think of God's dealings with his 'children'.

  (what's the site out of interest, there's no link in the OP)

  Samurai used to do it all the time, even for fun.

  They'd have seppuku tournaments, just for shits and giggles.

  The comments are also hilarious! Here is a particularly good one based on God's disapproval of Saul for not completing his assigned genocide against the Amalekites:

  You've got to sympathize with God on this one. It's just so hard to find good help. You ask your servant to kill every Amalek and everything they own, and he spares one man and some choice animals. FAIL!
  
  Seriously, does God have to do all the killing single-handedly? Can't he trust his followers to pull off total annihilation without hand-holding them? When will his followers figure out that the more dead, the merrier their God is??
  
  God must be pretty bummed about his most recent generation of followers, most of which haven't killed even one person.
  
  Unfortunately for the rest of us, there are still those who actually believe this crap and might kill an entire race of people if they thought God wanted it.
