How is it dopey that the same god that preaches love and decency orders grown men to ram a spear in the gut of a 18 month baby girl?
How is it dopey that thousands of years later a grown man in this day age says he'd kill a child on "god's" order?
It's not dopey. It's tragic.
Answer the question. Did god do the same with his power? We've already established he could have teleport them to a planet on the other side of the universe and put a force shield around it preventing them from ever leaving it, traveling billions of lights years across the universe so they can attack Israel. Care to make any more excuses for your "ALL POWERFUL" GOD?
Already did! 300+ years to repent and make amends. They didn't; thus, they paid the price for it, period. I make no excuses for my God, because He does NOT need to conform to what I think (or what YOU THINK, for that matter) He should do with His creation. If the Amalekites had repented, they'd been spared (no teleportation necessary).
Or are you gonna try and tell me that there is something good that would come out of a person who is forced to ram a spear in the gut of a baby?
Once again, in your pathetic attempt to prop up your argument, you play the semantics game with the manner of death involved. Spears then, or bombs, now, they're just as dead.
Really? Can you explain to me how to get a 7 month old baby boy to repent? Let's get back to subject before you start running off at the mouth about who's knows what to "defect" from the fact that the ALL POWERFUL god you worship, who is also a slaver, ordered soldiers to kill children when he had in his power to avoid it.
I've been on the subject from the start. In fact, this goofball statement of yours just demonstrates YOUR deflection and merely verifies what I've said from the jump. You, in your eagerness to whine, will find fault with any aspect of what was done with the Amalekites, or any other people on whom He pronounced judgment.
Again, you spare them and assimilate them (about which you REPEATEDLY cried did not happen with the Amalekites, but did happen with others), you start wailing about "slavery". Or you leave to starve and die, then it's the "God's-a-big-meanie" routine. Or, you continue your current route with the tired genocide flap.
That's the difference between you me. You in many ways are as primitive and emotionally barbaric as those murdering soldiers thousands of years ago. I'm not. You have shown, by your statements, that you would kill a child on god's order, you are no different than Mrs. Yates save a small shred of perception. You believe in absolute vengeance, man women and child. You are no different than those who hijacked the planes on 9/11. They believed they were on a mission from God too. They believed they were acting on god's orders. Now, I don't think there is a situation presently that would cause you murder a child, McWay, don't get me wrong, but the potential, by your own admission, is there.
You are EVERY BIT as "primitive". The one difference between us is that I can say it straight up, when asked, because I know how the Lord operates, based on His word. I know the criteria He sets and how He offers redemption and repentance. You, on the other hand, would do ABSOLUTELY NONE of the things that you so smugly claimed earlier.
If your family or people underwent what the Israelites did for three centuries and change, you WOULD NOT adopt the offspring of your enemies or give two spits who did. And, if those who were attacking those you loved happened to be children, you'd take them down without hesitation, pure and simple. So, you'll excuse me if I don't buy your sanctimonious routine, at this point.
It's that kind of barbaric stone age thinking that for all the good religion does, still holds our society captive from peace and our true potential.
David Koresh felt the same about scripture.
Hardly!! Koresh violated Scripture majorly. Nowhere, past or present, has there been any edict for mass suicide.
Are you a prophet McWay? You know the future? You know God's voice?
What part of "based on the criteria in Scripture" ain't registering? That's why I have a Bible. It easily helps me decipher what is and isn't of the Lord.
He's morally accountable to himself. It's called integrity, walking the walk, talking the talk etc... The first thing that comes to mind when someone doesn't follow there own rules is: SATAN
I'm sorry!! What are all these satanic rules that the Prince of Darkness is violating? As far as God not walking the walk, that's a laugh. Part of walking the walk is His covenant with Abraham, to bless those who bless him (and his family) and curse those who curse him.
Not to mention that 2nd commandment, regarding the punishment to the third and fourth generation.
No, what i said was "If I killed their parents" I'd talk care of their children. I listed the differences that made you candy ass defection of an argument worthless.
I know what you said, and this statement (much like that one) is simply BS!!
But this paragraph shows me some of the hate in your heart for anyone who is not like you. It shows you don't know the difference between what it is to be an adult versus a child. But then again, you've already admitted you'd kill a child on god's orders. So why show anything but indifference to the innocent children of the terrorists?
You'd better get your eyes checked. I don't hate people who simply aren't like me. I do have a personal lack of tolerance to try to rehabiliate someone's little monsters.
There you go, waving your adoption deflection flag, even though I outline distinctly the difference between what's going on now and GENOCIDE that happened with the Amalikites.
BUT WHAT CAN I EXPECT FROM SOME ONE WHO IS TRYING TO JUSTIFY KILLING CHILDREN AND HAS ADMITTED THEY WOULD DO IT THEMSELVES?
It's hardly a deflection. It's a pointed example that, feet held to the fire, your money and your mouth would be in two separate locations, with nary the slightest thought on the fate of Team AQ's little ones.
You didn't say directly, you only suggested it. I posted the whole exchange earlier. And this last response only strengthens assertions about you.
Seriously dude. Get counseling. There's much hate in your heart. You are libel to blow a fuse and go on a killing spree killing anyone that looks arab.
<<
pause for hysterical laughter>> This has to be the most ROCK-HEADED BONE-BRAINED THING you have ever posted. The last thing I have is hatred for anything that looks Arab. I have people in my church who are from Arab countries. I've been to their homes; they've been to mine. Their kids have played with my own.
It ain't an Arab thing; it's a terrorist-thing; it's my attitude against ANYONE who would bring harm to me and my family, regardless of their ethnicity.
The 8-year-old who killed his dad WASN'T ARAB; neither was the recent 11-year-old who killed his father's pregnant fiance'. Again, lay off the brewskies!!!
