So you believe that a new born baby is someone who should be killed?
The bible is filled with tales of your God ordering exactly that.
1 Samuel 15:2,3
2 This is what the LORD Almighty says: 'I will punish the Amalekites
for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up
from Egypt.3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy [a]
everything that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men
and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and
donkeys.' "
Hosea 13:16
16 The people of Samaria must bear their guilt,because they have
rebelled against their God. They will fall by the sword; their little
ones will be dashed to the ground, their pregnant women ripped open."
It also seems that He is praised and glorified for doing so...
Psalms 135:1-8
1 Praise the LORD. [a]
Praise the name of the LORD;
praise him, you servants of the LORD,
2 you who minister in the house of the LORD,
in the courts of the house of our God.
3 Praise the LORD, for the LORD is good;
sing praise to his name, for that is pleasant.
4 For the LORD has chosen Jacob to be his own,
Israel to be his treasured possession.
5 I know that the LORD is great,
that our Lord is greater than all gods.
6 The LORD does whatever pleases him,
in the heavens and on the earth,
in the seas and all their depths.
7 He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
he sends lightning with the rain
and brings out the wind from his storehouses.
8 He struck down the firstborn of Egypt,
the firstborn of men and animals.
Psalms 136:10
1 Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good.
His love endures forever.
2 Give thanks to the God of gods.
His love endures forever.
3 Give thanks to the Lord of lords:
His love endures forever.
4 to him who alone does great wonders,
His love endures forever.
5 who by his understanding made the heavens,
His love endures forever.
6 who spread out the earth upon the waters,
His love endures forever.
7 who made the great lights?
His love endures forever.
8 the sun to govern the day,
His love endures forever.
9 the moon and stars to govern the night;
His love endures forever.
10 to him who struck down the firstborn of Egypt
His love endures forever.
Psalms 137:8-9
8 O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction,
happy is he who repays you
for what you have done to us-
9 he who seizes your infants
and dashes them against the rocks.
