It's hard for me to believe you read the passage" I've read it three times now. Why not just post the passage that says what they did to get the wrath of God? The instead of just trying to make me look like a fool with your condescending non-answers, you might actually be able to do it. I might be missing somthing obvious. Think of the fun you could have. "I've also told you that there are many different strains of Christianity which makes your question absurd" Not absurd at all. You indicate that any Christian that says "who am I to question God" (which is a lot of them), condone genocide. And that is a lie. But at least I know your position. Too bad it is a dishonest one. And just to finish it off, you ARE being dishonest when you switch the wording of "The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Take vengeance on the Midianites for the Israelites" as killing in the name of God. That is a command from God according to the bible. I see now you have added a new element not included in your original post to justify your dishonest tactic. "According to the Bible, Joshua conquered the holy land in the name of his God, Yahweh" The more posts I have with you the more I am conviinced that you are an arrogant and condescending man that uses dishonest tactics and ridicule to "win" his arguments. You can trick stupid people that way> But if your reply is just that I am stupid, can't read your post, and that you really took a lot of time to compose it, save it. Think how much ground we could cover if you put a post together, I read it and asked questions (along with my reasoning for asking the questions) where I didn't perfectly understand your point, and you ANSWERED THEM and we moved on. But you have to insult and belittle and mix dishonesty with ridicule to "win". Some conversation.
