You, on the other hand, seem to have your "atrocity meter" backwards, where God commanding genocidal slaughter isn't an atrocity at all, but if He were to command plural marriage, why, that is just a heinous, sinful, evil, satanic...atrocity and a sign of the occult. I think the average reasonable person would say your values are salmon-ackwards, since the average person would consider slaughter the more atrocious of the two commandments.
