i had this debate in another thread, but that one seems to have vanished, so i thought id create this one.
when conquering Palestine, the Hebrews committed genocide against a number of peoples there. and this wasnt long after he gave them the commandments telling them not to kill.
of course i dont believe this, i believe its an excuse the Hebrews used to excuse their genocide. but, for the sake of argument, lets say the order did come from god, did that make it ok? shouldnt an order like this be a sure sign that your god is evil? or does having him on your side matter more?
Evil and good is defined by God. What we think is right or wrong is not law, but What God says to do is just, afterall he is GOD.
