After reading the Biblical account I would have to say mass murderer. After all, he did murder several dozen innocent people because he was mad at some other people. Judaic-Christian theology is interesting to say the least.

That's par for the course in the OT.

The one that always floored me was when God killed 70,000 of his 'chosen people' merely because their leader took a census.
