"God disliked Jeroboam (he was the worst person in the world)"

So wait, God is actually Keith Olbermann?

Steve: "So wait, God is actually Keith Olbermann?"

Yeah, except Keith Olbermann is being facetious and he doesn't brag about killing people (not even the worst person in the world).

I don't think it's clear that God killed Jeroboam's family.

The wages of sin are death and we must remember that Jeroboam and his family MADE IDOLS and worshipped obviously FALSE GODS, so really they doomed themselves of their own free will. Then God showed mercy by not having the corpses eaten by dogs or birds.
God is Love.

Aw, Keith is a sweetheart compared to Yahweh.

If only he ould have Ann Marie Cox on more often.

Come to think of it, Dick Cheney is a almost sweetheart compared to Yahweh.

Yes, and God had them horribly die for this, so it is his killing.

"Then God showed mercy by not having the corpses eaten by dogs or birds. "

Showed mercy? For a omnipotent god, the merciful way of disposing of those corpse would have been to let someone bury them. The whole point of the dogs and birds matter is to worsen the punishment.
