Steve,

Actually the most admirable thing to do, is create a situation where people arent twisted enough to find monkeys as a viable sexual alternative.

However, I wasnt talking about how humans kill humans. We are capable of evil and I dont blame god for that.

I am talking about instances in the Bible where God commands people to kill people, or actually does it personally. That is a different situation, IMO.

We can also talk about Hell and everlasting torture with fire and brimstone. How could it possibley be better to torture a soul for all of eternity that it is to rehabiliate that soul so that it appreciates and works towards love and good deeds. How can God or anyone make a reasonable enlightened choice that points towards the infliction of everlasting torture.
