Faith prates:
quote:
So many these days are apparently incapable of discriminating between murder and justice on just about every major issue. To call God's justice genocide is a case of this popular moral reversal.
From
The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language:
genocide - The systematic and planned extermination of an entire national, racial, political, or ethnic group.
Need I present you with the definition of 'justice' as well:
justice - The quality of being just; fairness.
I am perfectly capable of distinguishing murder and genocide from justice. I'm afraid it is
you who are confused. God ordered the systematic extermination of an entire race of innocent people, including suckling infants. Therefore God is just as bad as Hitler. No blood-thirsty Christian is ever going to convince me that genocide is ever, under any circumstances whatsoever, justifiable. It is immoral and reprehensible.
You are the one who is saying otherwise.
quote:
The moral high ground you think you are standing on is extremely shaky.
No it's not. My morality is one in which genocide is unacceptable under any circumstances whatsoever. It's what you might call a 'moral absolute'. Ever heard that phrase before? Perhaps not, since you clearly don't understand the concept.
quote:
Exodus 34:6-7 The LORD, The LORD God, merciful and gracious, longsuffering, and abundant in goodness and truth, Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving iniquity and transgression and sin, and that will by no means clear [the guilty]; visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children, and upon the children's children, unto the third and to the fourth [generation].
Yes, yes, the same God who orders cold-blooded genocide. The same God who enjoys seeing little suckling babies ruthlessly killed. The same God who punishes the innocent for the sins of the guilty. That would be
your God, certainly not mine.
