Ok, we'll stick with this. I'll take the first link. The abominations of the Canaanites.
Quote:D.
“
These evil practices were the reason the Lord was going to drive the Canaanites out of the land. Not only adherence to the false gods of Canaan was proscribed, but also the means by which the Canaanites attempted to communicate with them. Both the objects and the methods of Canaanite religious life were to be abhorred totally and rejected completely.” (Kalland, Deuteronomy, comments on Deut 18:9
One of the first comments is that Yahweh was mad that the canaanites weren't worshiping him. As I stated before, this is one of the reasons he's so angry, and it's not exactly a sympathetic one.
Quote: To the Canaanite, fertility was of major importance in worship, and both male and female temple prostitution was prevalent ... God had had enough.
This goes into the fact that Yahweh apparently has issues about sex. Though that seems like a personal problem, instead of a reason to call people who disagree with him evil.
Quote:Making their own children “pass through the fire” (Deut 18:10).
