30:15 See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil;
30:16 In that I command thee this day to love the "I AM" thy God, to walk in His Ways, and to keep His Commandments and His Statutes and His Judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply: and the "I AM" thy God shall bless thee in the land where thou goest to possess it.
30:17 But if thine heart turn away, so that thou wilt not hear, but shalt be drawn away, and worship other gods, and serve them;
30:18 I denounce unto you this day, that ye shall surely perish, [and that] ye shall not prolong [your] days upon the land, where thou passest over Jordan to go to possess it.
30:19 I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, [that] I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore CHOOSE life, that both thou and thy seed may live:
30:20 That thou mayest love the "I AM" thy God, [and] that thou mayest obey His voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto Him: for He [is] thy Life, and the length of thy days: that thou mayest dwell in the land which the "I AM" sware unto thy fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob/Israel, to give them.
The Bible is fiction. Quoting from the Bible doesn't make it true.

The Bible is fiction. Quoting from the Bible doesn't make it true.
If that is your opinion, then so be it. You making that patently false claim doesn't magically make it true.

Over 2/3rds of the Bible is prophecy, over 99% of which has already been fulfilled in exact and minute detail over the past 6000 years. Only a complete fool would look at that track record, and assume that the Bible isn't true, and/or that the remaining less than 1% won't likewise be fulfilled in exact and minute detail.

And that, of course includes compassionately putting an end to this misery, by executing all those who have refused to repent of their selfish, evil ways, i.e. those who have refused to believe and be rehabilitated, so that those who do genuinely want to learn how to love one another and live WITH God and our natural surroundings, can do so in Love, and Truth, and in PEACE.

The Bible is fiction until proven to be true by using extra-Biblical evidence e.g. the Biblical God showing up in front of everyone and demonstrating his omniscience and omnipotence to prove that he is God. You have not cited any extra-Biblical evidence which proves the Bible to be true.

Not true.

Please see "The Scriptural Marks of True Israel" article and thread here containing hundreds of prophecies detailing at least 95 scriptural "marks" of true Israel, and how those prophecies have been fulfilled and are still being fulfilled today, as we rapidly approach the final phase of WW3 which, according to Biblical prophecy, the U.S. and U.K. (and allies) will lose to Russia and China (and their allies).

I disagree. The Bible is fiction. It was written by liars who justified their murders by claiming they were commanded by Biblical God to commit murder: https://www.evilbible.com/evil-bible-ho ... -the-bible

And what evidence do you have of your opinions, or of those expressed in the link you've provided?

It's no wonder you're so confused about what compassion, constraints, and consequences really are.
