If you were God, what kind of God would you be?

What the?????? "THE Vietnam"? Is that the same as "THE Iraq"? I guess I missed the part in history class where the men who served were the same ones who STARTED the war and how they all signed up because they WANTED to go........Try a different analogy because that one is putrid.

What I see here, is, if it isn't directly quoted by god, it's man acting like an idiot, whereby relieveng the bible from wrongdoing. But if god says it, it's "god's will" or "they deserved it"What about Numbers 5 where a woman is subject to her thigh rotting away if she cheats on her husband? What happens to the man who she cheats with? Nothing. Please tell me your excuse for this one.The whole chapter of Numbers is disgusting. Outcast Lepers? Didn't god make them that way? Now they have to be ostracized?

The difference is: you are referring to events IN THE BIBLE where the individuals have claimed to be doing what they have done in the name of god. Your good book is claiming this, not an outside source. So, are they lying? Did they just claim to do what they did in the name of god, when it was really for there own good? If so, why are there liars in the bible? Why base your entire religion off a group of raping, pillaging, murdering liars?You say that men only "claimed" the name of god for the crusades, I guess that is material enough for the bible, yes?

The children sent to the gas chambers were not enemy combatents, so the geneva convention does not apply to them.

If you are going to reference something and try and use it in your argument, please understand what it is......I don't recall Auschwitz being full of American/British/Soviet soldiers, do you? I know it's a rather bleak way to look at it, but that's what it is. Were the Jews fighting back? were the Jews at war with Hitler? Was WWII faught by the Jews vs. the Nazis?

I was replying to what you said in Message 191, where you called Drosophilla naive for saying that the nazis followed Geneva convention. i then pointed out how your reasoning was flawed when you said they put children in gas chambers.Where did I say anything about Hiroshima? I do recall asking you a string of questions to back up your assertations of how jewish children being thrown in gas chambers violated Geneva Conventions.This is all off topic anyways.

by righteously destroying those heathen babies!

So the whole deal about the Israelites being the chosen people is bullshit? Allegorical?
