Mercy is the withholding of judgment that a person deserves. As believers, we value God's goodness and recognize that His mercy supersedes all other judgments.
Psalms 103:17 "But the mercy of the LORD is from everlasting to everlasting upon them that fear him, and his righteousness unto children's children."
God extends His goodness, mercy, and love to all men. His immutable laws are evident to those willing to recognize the truth.
Matthew 5:45 "...for he maketh his sun to rise on the evil and on the good, and sendeth rain on the just and on the unjust."
Since God desires to make His mercy known to everyone, the sun shines just as much on evildoers as on those accomplishing the work of Christ. We all need God's mercy, and we profit as we are mindful of God's mercy to us.
Psalms 86:5 "For thou, Lord, art good, and ready to forgive; and plenteous in mercy unto all them that call upon thee."
Psalms 103:4,10-12 "Who redeemeth thy life from destruction; who crowneth thee with lovingkindness and tender mercies; He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities. For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him. As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us."
God is at work in us to cheerfully extend His mercy to our brothers and sisters. We do this easily when we remember the times we deserved judgment and God showed us mercy and forgiveness.
Ephesians 2:4,5 "But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us, Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ..."
By accepting the reality of what God has accomplished through Christ, we are assured of His mercy to us. We confidently go to Him for answers to our every prayer.
Hebrews 4:16 "Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need."
Ancient Greeks were people who worshiped many gods as polytheists. Fifth-century Greeks did not see themselves at the mercy of gods because they thought the gods were benevolent.

The spelling gods is a plural (e.g. Greek gods), while god's or God's is a possessive (e.g. God's mercy).

Anthropomorphism is applying anything human (personality or traits) to something that is not human. Every religion does this, including Cristian in the phrase "God's mercy" or "God's wrath" as mercy and wrath are human traits.
From a Christian perspective a mercy killing is wrong for the same reason a suicide would be wrong. You are taking the control away from God and robbing any remaining good that that person could have given the world.
