Does God kill?

[nobspeople]

We all know that god has killed people on more than one occasion, based on the old testament stories.

For discussion:
Do you think god directly (ie not allows someone to be killed) kills anyone today?
If no, why do you think the OT god was such an angry so-n-so while the NT god seems to be a lot calmer and slower to annihilate humans?

It takes a bit of reading, but once one gets to Revelation one finds that the God of the NT is no sweetheart either.

One doesn't have to read nearly that far. Even if Acts 1:18 isn't God directly smiting Judas and fits what is meant by God "allowing" his death, Acts 5 tells the story of God smiting a couple that didn't put all their money in the collection plate.

One could make the case god 'allows' everyone to die and thus, causes death.
I was curious about, specifically, god killing someone (smushin' them with his finger from above, as it were).
I suppose, one could place blame on god for the gravity that caused the tree to fall and 'smush' someone....
In that vein, I guess we'll never know for sure - god seems to have his hand involved in everything and nothing at the same time.
