"As explained in the other article, the evidence shows that the idea that God wanted the Israelites to wage their war of conquest against Canaan dates from before the Conquest. It was most likely not an after-the-fact theological justification (since the same books portray the conquering Israelites as the children of fearful, rebellious parents who died in the wilderness). The question remains, though: How could such a divine command be morally just?"

The Canaanites were child sacrificers too

They were not nice people

God bless everyone! Good night

goodnight @Living The Dream 🍀

The kids were probably better off dying quickly in battle rather than be sacrificed to God knows who

I don't think you'll find sympathy arguing that God is some kind of psycho here

Yeah cherry-picking

The sign of a robust intellect

Oh the name-calling

"I like The Bible, just not these parts"

That's not cherry-picking?

Wake up earlier tomorrow and try again I guess

1 Peter 3:19-20

**1 Peter 3:19-20 - Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition (DRA)**

```Dust


<19> In which also coming he preached to those spirits that were in prison: <20> Which had been some time incredulous, when they waited for the patience of God in the days of Noe, when the ark was a building: wherein a few, that is, eight souls, were saved by water. ```

Oh yes

The "God is love and nothing else" argument

What about Divine Wrath?

It's love to those who were abusing God's gifts, and to those who were abused by them

remember

no russian

Divine Wrath is not a hissy fit

Specifically not

Nope

Sure isn't

You're wrong again kid and unable to accept it

Happens so much

Yeah only God Knows God

This is why we fear God

Wow you have such a piss-poor attitude when things don't go your way

I can imagine what your old man must be like

You're kind of being a prick insinuating that my theology is invalid

Nope I didn't

Now you're just making stuff up

I guess that means you win somehow?

You are entitled to your extremely misguided opinions

Yes, let me hold your hand so you can figure it out

I'm tired of this

Good night all

@Thule-Gesellschaft [☩] answer me this

was it unjust for god to flood the earth
