The God of the Bible is Evil
Title presupposes guilt. This tells us that your mind is made up and closed for business.
"Then I heard the LORD say to the other men, "Follow him through the city and kill everyone whose forehead is not marked. Show no mercy; have no pity! Kill them all - old and young, girls and women and little children. But do not touch anyone with the mark. Begin your task right here at the Temple." So they began by killing the seventy leaders. "Defile the Temple!" the LORD commanded. "Fill its courtyards with the bodies of those you kill! Go!" So they went throughout the city and did as they were told." (Ezekiel 9:5-7 NLT)
This is not a legitimate translation; rather it is a deliberate misrepresentation undoubtedly produced by Atheists and persons who believe in Darwinism.
The only real issue is why do you think it is legitimate?
I would very much like to defend the Biblical Deity concerning the charges brought against Him. For this to happen the Prosecution would need to use any legitimate translation, like the KJV, RSV or even the NIV (which is illegitimate concerning the book of Revelation).
"Your Honor, I move that all charges against my Client be dismissed in the interest of justice until the Prosecution shows probable cause via a legitimate witness [translation]."

Re: Same verse only worse
Same verse only worse
There are huge differences, but I am not one to quibble over synonyms.
You have pasted a legitimate translation as I asked, now:
"Your Honor, I am ready to defend my Client against the charge of evil. If and when the Prosecution states their case, based on the reliable witness of the KJV - the defense is ready to show the Court that the charge is groundless."
