In the bible God is described as being "loving of all his children", but then again is it true?
According to selected verified extracts from bible itself god has killed about [2,270,365] that is excluding the population of the world during Noah's flood, and other important events that didn't include exact numbers. Do people really want to follow a God who seems to kill his children so easily?

My question is:
How can you follow a book of such atrositys and say it is the love of God

Re: Old Testament vs. New Testament
So your saying the god of "Old Testament" is different to god "New Testament" from my understanding they are both of the same God.
These a proven numbers calculated and relevant to that of Christianity, or am I wrong in my understanding that Christians don't believe the "Old Testament" yet believe the "New Testament"

Ok
I'll rephrase the whole topic =) Starting from:
In the New testament God is described as being "loving of all his children", but then again in the old testament he is also displayed as a God of death, this evidence is supplied here ->
According to selected verified extracts from bible itself god has killed about [2,270,365] that is excluding the population of the world during Noah's flood, and other important events that didn't include exact numbers.

My question is:
How can you follow a book which contains a God who is displayed as loving in the New Testament yet of war and death in the Old Testament?
