Why do you think that stating the problem with the story again is a rebuttal?
Quote: The promise is important part of the story, the Amalekites are no longer around to make or be involved in history, they are gone forever.
But that's literally not what god promised. And you know it's not what god promised, because I quoted what he's actually purported to have said in my post: "blot out the name Amalek from under heaven." But the name Amalek is in the bible, and the bible is under heaven, apparently, therefore, god did not blot out that name. It's not my problem that your bible contradicts itself, but one thing you absolutely cannot do is make the words out to say something that is not present in the text.
I know that's a cornerstone of apologetics, but it's not going to work here, as there's an explicit promise there that hasn't been fulfilled, by design.
Quote: Any sensible person could understand that's what was meant by recording the event in the Bible.

No, I think a sensible person wouldn't be taking this story of a space wizard committing genocide as seriously as you do, GC.
