Being Hittite or Amorite or Canaanite or Perizzite or Hivite or Jebusite appears to be a good enough reason according to Deuteronomy 20:13-17.
​
Others just have all the men killed and the women and goods taken, but the above are to be wiped out completely.

God never unleashed His wrath without provocation.
​
What possible provocation makes genocide moral? How did the children and infants of those peoples provoke God?
​
Sorry, but 'they had it coming' is one of the most immoral justifications for ANY action.
​
Face it. The God of the Bible picks and chooses what is 'moral' from moment to moment. There is no hint of constancy, let alone anything like the 'absolute' you keep trying to tout.

Re: Objective morality versus good and evil
I would disagree that fundamentalists are inherently immoral. Rather, I would say that they are amoral. They have no sense of morality.
​
Isn't that the original and perfectly created state of man (according to them)?
​
The book says that man was made quite specifically without knowledge of good and evil and was meant to stay that way. There was only supposed to be obedience. And man (or woman, or woman convinced by serpent) blew that.
