If god can so easily command the desecration of whole populations, not once, but multiple times, then how can such a being be trusted for determining our well being as a society today, especially considering that he has made no intrusion in times when society is most likely worse than it ever was before.
I agree with you, Kitan. But I don't believe God ever commanded this. This is OT stuff and I have explained how I feel about the OT and how some of these descriptions of God completely contradict Jesus, who I believe is God Himself, made flesh.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
