Suggestion: "Harsh" commands

Someone asked on SkepticsSkeptics about how "harsh" the Bible is in the things it mandates. (It's really a poor question, so I'm not advocating asking it here.) To me, the commands of God show mercy, not cruelty. Yet many people see the Bible (especially the Torah) as ordering people to do unnecessarily severe things as punishment. But, as you can see, I can't really see how to form this as a question. Would you like to help me out?
