So, Pilch, when your God commands you to kill your children, you'll snap to and get it done? This is JUST LIKE what the fundamentalist Mormons did in "Under the Banner of Heaven"! Only, they were wrong, right? Because their God wasn't "the correct belief"?

You've certainly summed a lot of things up accurately. <<The most moral thing you can do at that point is sacrifice your son.>> You see i follow code where it's never moral to sacrifice your son, or anyone's son for that matter, to any god. <<If God decides to exterminate them because of their faithlessness, no genocide takes place.>> But it's men who do the exterminating: Joshua, Moses, Samuel, Saul, etc. And again, i follow a code where there are no evil races of people and where genocide is always wrong.
