I’m going to have to respectfully disagree. They are really demonstrating the true nature of Yahweh when they’re brazenly hateful like this. Their god is violent, sees Gentiles as nothing more than beasts to be used, and is incredibly petty. Add to the mix that God is immutable, and it’s clear now.

There's also the thing with "Deny, attack, and reverse victim and offender (DARVO)". It's disturbing to see how exactly it matches.
I get you want to help people leave their beliefs, but it is better to start with a more accurate understanding of them.
