    after getting the stone tablet with Thou Shalt Not Kill on it, Moses takes his entourage and immediately genocides an entire kingdom. It’s right there in the Bible, I don’t think they are that concerned about consistency

      Just like The Tower of Babel (I think). The people are building a giant tower, basically, and God doesn’t like it because it would prove to humanity that they don’t need God (for some reason).

      So he orders his followers to slaughter all of them and destroy the temple, to remind them they need God.

      I don’t think this God guy is as nice as people claim him to be.

        And then God invented different languages to create barriers to humans working together so it would never happen again

      You don‘t get it. Moses just beat the enemies with the stone tables to really hammer in the rules. It‘s not his fault the people are dying of the injuries.
