good point. I experienced similar situations while growing up and had similar unanswered questions.

Re: Double standards?
Perhaps if the Cannanites had submitted to Gods decision to give the land to the children of his friend Abraham, they and their children would not have had to die.
So if some group approached your country and said their God demanded that you relinquish your land to them, would you?

according to you perhaps.
Most likely according to virtually all Atheists, Agnostics, Deists & a large number of moderate Theists. The point is that there is no evidence, other than the hearsay evidence from scripture, and since the positive evidence as to who and when the various books of scripture were written, gives even less a real point of any prophesies as having been fulfilled.

Re: Cowardice by any Name
to the contrary, the bible tells us NOT to fight our enemies.
Your God speaks with forked tongue. If the above quote is correct then explain why he ordered the Israelites to destroy the Canaanites.

Re: Cowardice by any Name
They knew the land was an inheritance for the Isrealites, they refused to hand it over therefore they had taken something that did not belong to them.
How did they know this when "God" only revealed himself to Israel?

Re: Cowardice by any Name
because Abraham lived with them in the same region.
That was hundreds of years earlier. The Canaanites didn't interact religiously with Abraham. Each group had its own deity or deities.
It is no different now, even though there are many people, who know of Yahweh, it is taken as simply a sects beliefs. Why do you think that there are hundreds Christian sects alone not to mention the other Abrahamic Religions, Judaism & Islam then the non-Abrahamic religions such as Hindu, Confucianism, Buddhist etc. Just knowing what others believe in doesn't mean that they will accept or adopt it.
