I am a little surprised at how violent the program is. Especially when the Angels come down to Sodom to destroy the city. Or perhaps the violence doesn’t come across to me when I read the verses. Scary to see a Vengeful God. Hope I never see Him like that.
I sense that maybe the reason could be because so as not to “sugarcoat” the Bible?
What you describe in those sentences is probably a very good translation of "fear of the Lord". JMHO.
I am sort of with you on that, but last night I also thought about how the Middle East is still really that violent.

Just wait till the second coming.
His first appearance was like a lamb. His next one will be like a lion.

So much Bible history is read in Sunday school in the same manner that Alice in wonderland or jack and the beanstalk would be read, so it is easy to see why many people do not take it serious.
According to the Bible those people in Sodom were killed.
We either believe in God or we don,t regardless of what his attitude is.
God does not ask for our approval nor does he need it.

What do you think the second coming is going to be? Laughs and giggles, Remember the flood?

You will.
"Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. He is clothed in a robe dipped in blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. "
