<<To this:

"1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites. ""

I asked : What did the midianites do to get the wrath of God? Was it indiscriminate, and just at a whim?

Shallow to you, I guess. But is a question I had.>>

But the passage i quoted contains the answer to your question. It's hard for me to believe you read the passage. It seems to me you only read the first line.

<<To which I asked: "But is sounds like you think today's Christians condone genocide. Do you?">>

I've also told you that there are many different strains of Christianity which makes your question absurd, and is more evidence that you don't read what i write.

Here's something else i said in that post:

I'm troubled by a moral code that can't say genocide, or what happened in Numbers 31, is always wrong.

Isn't that a clear statement of my position to you?

<<t sounds like you do because you phrase a command by God as killing in "the name of God". I know you are too smart to think those are the same.>>

Now this is pure gibberish. According to the Bible, Joshua conquered the holy land in the name of his God, Yahweh.
