Oh the irony...

not ironic at all...an intentional highlight of your hypocrisy on such matters.

Is one a fake thinking or a so-called thinking?

not at all...the former is "alleged", giving the overwhelming cause for skepticism that it has occurred... whereas the latter is often understood as occurring by the facts at hand.
smart money is on the former

When god commands the Israelites to kill the non combatant women and children, is it not murder?
It is better to be a warrior in a garden, than a gardener at war.

Some of us, on the other hand, actually prefer a religion that includes some type of correlation with reality.

If Jesus is Jehovah of the Old Testament he is schizophrenic.

Now go and smite Amalek, and utterly destroy all that they have, and spare them not; but slay both man and woman, infant and suckling, ox and sheep, camel and ass.




It were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and he cast into the sea, than that he should offend one of these little ones.

Yeah but those infants were evil infants...

There are worse things to die from then to drown. Especially, when it concerns a baby. Abortion is so much more horrific. How about prematurely inducing labor and then letting the baby simply lay around until it dies. Or an ancient pagan practice of taking a baby and placing it in the burning arms of a statue of Baal to be roasted alive.
In any case God takes that baby's soul to heaven. Those that would abuse babies must repent or face an eternity separated from God.

The infants were not evil; however, they would have grown up to become evil and they would have then have gone to the very same destination as their parents.

I don't care how you spin it. Murdering innocents is murdering innocents. Killing babies for Moloch bad. Killing babies in the name of Jehovah good. So child sacrifice is acceptable when it is done in Jehovah's name. Thanks for that tidbit nipper.

Let's call a spade a spade.
