Oh so everyone deserved to die? its logical that many "sinned" in a manner that is so mundane it wouldnt even be required by law to fine them, yet he decided to kill them all? If you feel that is moral then you are a horrendous person, i cant put it any other way to be honest. Children who were 2 had no idea about 120 years to repent, nor wtf they had to repent for, yet they died, please, take your hate speech somewhere else.
turning the other cheek means exactly what i stated, you cant ask people to turn the other cheek if slapped when you have god killing people for mundane sins.
god could have easily stopped the oppression and brutalization. Also, your skewed view that children should pay for the sins of their parents is incredibly arcane. There was no reason to kill amlekite children just as much as there is to kill osama bin ladens children.
religion has your mind warped to the point of justifying genocide and child murder.
Apparently, you need to bone up on your ancient history. Why do you think the Amalekites kept assaulting Israel for three centuries?
Answer: Those kiddies grew up and picked up where their parents left off. They weren't exactly Boy Scouts. Israel turned the other cheek for over 300 YEARS!! But, when you have an enemy, hell-bent on wiping you out, there is no compromise. Either you destroy them, or they destroy you.
Speaking of Bin Laden (notwithstanding that most of his children are grown), many of these tikes in the Middle East are taught to hate Jews, virtually fresh out of the womb. Heck, they have kids' shows (equivalent to Sesame Street and Barney, here in the US) in which puppets and Big-Bird-style animal characters sing songs to kids, about how the blood of Jews should flow in the streets and how blessed a day it will as they get killed.
But, of course, Israel's supposed to just lay back and take it, because poor ol' Necrosis is going to get his feelings hurt, should God pass judgment on their oppressors. And, we can't have that, now can we?
NEWS FLASH!!! Children pay for the mistakes/sins of their parents. That's as true today as it was back then. When Japan hit us at Pearl Harbor, we hit back. And when the A-bomb got dropped, there was no segregation between the adults and the kids.
The point, of course, is simple. Sometimes in life, when you screw up, YOU AREN'T THE ONLY ONE THAT PAYS THE PRICE FOR IT.
If you're a father and you commit certain crimes, your whole family may suffer for it.
If you're a crooked businessman, all your employees may end up out of work, because of your nefarious actions.
And, if you're a king, your foolish decisions can bring death on your subjects.
The more authority you have, the more your behavior and actions can bless or curse those under you, pure and simple.
