Darwin's Bulldog Richard DAWKINS exposes Christian Philosopher William Lane Craig to the contempt of the entire normal human race" guardian.co.uk Prof William Craig justifies genocide "But why take the lives of innocent children? The terrible totality of the destruction was undoubtedly related to the prohibition of assimilation to pagan nations on Israel's part. In commanding complete destruction of the Canaanites, the Lord says, 'You shall not intermarry with them, giving your daughters to their sons, or taking their daughters for your sons, for they would turn away your sons from following me, to serve other gods' (Deut 7.3-4). […] God knew that if these Canaanite children were allowed to live, they would spell the undoing of Israel. […] Moreover, if we believe, as I do, that God's grace is extended to those who die in infancy or as small children, the death of these children was actually their salvation. We are so wedded to an earthly, naturalistic perspective that we forget that those who die are happy to quit this earth for heaven's incomparable joy. Therefore, God does these children no wrong in taking their lives."

You say that. I did not misquote. YOU DID! Trying to hide your interpolations may work with superstitious weaklings who despise reason, but people who count know quite well that you are not wearing clothes! I merely remarked that the author of the quote you posted was perhaps being a bit hard on you. Fundy Christians may be considered to lack maturity and intelligence by definition…but not all Fundies are sociopaths. “It should come as no surprise that the individuals who abide by fundamentalist Christian and radical Islamic doctrines would be the first to cry out that they are being persecuted when their dangerous, damaging and disingenuous beliefs come under attack. Most of these people lack the maturity and intelligence to act in a socially acceptable manner. Many of them are sociopaths and quite a good number of them are psychopaths. All of them are clearly delusional.…”
