God is our example. Genocide is good?
Christians who believe in the Flood, justify God’s use of genocide as a good way to adjust the mentality of a people.
How then can Christians criticize man using the same tool. They cannot unless they also criticize God.
If God is to be our example of moral and ethical behavior, then we must embrace genocide as a viable means to an end.
Happily I do not believe in the flood for the main reason of not thinking that genocide is a good method of solving problems.
God could have just as easily snapped His fingers to adjust mankind. In this way He could not be accused of killing babies and children who were completely innocent of any wrongdoing.
Why did God use genocide if it is a poor example for the methodology of social adjustment?
Why would He open Himself to harsh and perhaps justified criticism?

Not Inclined to Promote
I'm not inclined to promote this topic.
I feel the topic will turn into another morality thread. I don't feel we need another morality thread just yet.
If another Admin doesn't take up your cause by Wednesday I will close this proposal.
Thanks
AdminPD
