According to the Bible, when the Egyptian army chased Moses to the Red Sea, Moses asked God to open the Red Sea to cross to the other side. After Moses and his people had crossed over, God closed the Red Sea and thus drowned the Egyptian army!
God consciously drown the Egyptian army, as he could have closed the Red Sea enough to stop the Egyptian army from chasing Moses. It is possible to do that, as he is all mighty, according to the Bible. So, God committed a pre-meditated killing of the Egyptian army. By definition, pre-meditated killing is murder.
One would argue that since the Egyptian army wanted to kill Moses and his people, it is justifiable to kill them. That is valid only if the whole Egyptian army, every one of them, wanted to kill Moses and his people. Everyone knows that it is the Egyptian king who ordered the army to chase after Moses. The army is then just doing what they were told. To argue the Egyptian army is the same as the Egyptian king is like saying all the US government employees are Republican. If the Democrat wins the election, then all of a sudden, they all become Democrats!
So, according to the Bible, God is a mass murderer, as he killed not one but an army of people.
