Why are you arguing about something that both God and Job were well pleased with? All stories have an ending. This one has a great one. Besides, if you don't believe in God, why would this even bother you, since you don't believe it even happened anyway?
... Plus, my eternal destination is better than the other one that many will follow.
Without God people are left to decide what is wrong or right. That sounds great to many people because they know what is wrong and right. Oddly, people seldom agree on this. Furthermore, when people gain power over others their view of right and wrong tends to change to right being whatever protects their power or grants them more power. Historical cases of this are:
Ukraine Famine | United Human Rights Council
and
Chronology of Mass Killings during the Chinese Cultural Revolution (1966-1976) - Online Encyclopedia of Mass Violence
Religious death tolls happen, but they tend to be relatively small and with good reason, ie crusades to kick out foreign invaders from Europe or the inquisition to root out subversive elements of society ie Kabbalists who were accused of sacrificing Christian children.
Where did you get that we omit things from the Bible?
What was Hitlers good reason for killing. What about Bin Laden's good reason. Did poll Pot have any good reasons. The mass murderers around the world killed indiscriminately. They had no judgement about what was right and what was wrong. They killed their own right hand men half the time when things didn't go right. They killed for inconsistent reasons and never let any of those they considered bad go free. They constantly killed innocent people who had done absolutely nothing wrong.According you, this excuses the worst mass murders in history, because not one of them went around "killing for no good reason, without any control."
Jesus is God in the flesh. So we only see Jesus when He was on earth living His life. If you want to use that logic then once again we should see Jesus also doing the same thing in the new testament. But we dont. And out of all the bible the most clearest example of what we see in God is with Jesus because He was walking the earth like a man in the flesh. Not up in the sky, not a voice in the wilderness, not a burning bush but a man walking the earth like you or men in front of many so they could touch Him and speak to Him. This is the best way we can see God. So you have actually got it backwards. Instead of trying to inject Jesus back into the old testament to see God. Take God from the old testament into Jesus of the new testament to know God.We do see that, in the Old Testament. Jesus is God, is he not?
Well how else would a moral person be or a good person be but good and moral. Thats like saying a doctor says hes good at medicine becuase hes good at medicine. Hes not going to be bad at medicine is he. Hes good at medicine because hes a doctor. That is exactly what we would expect. Its not circular its just the way things are. Its just the truth. But more than that just like we can see a doctor perform to know that he is a doctor. We can see Gods example in Jesus and know His life and teachings to see that He is moral and good in the new testament.The problem is that your argument boils down to, "God is moral, therefore anything God commands is moral". It is a circular argument, and a very dangerous one at that.

All things happen for God's Glory, even if we can't understand it.
Hitler is a good example of someone who is not right with God, ...
Absolutely not. But if he died first, it would be to late. The odds of that happening though would be rare, since I've read that he may have been gay. He even raped his own soldiers. And as we can see in today's world, gays are to proud to repent.
Proof in the pudding. If there was no God, where would morality come from, and who would say what is right or wrong? Thank you God for clarifying all this for us, because we cannot.
