[Jehanne]

For example, everyone rants about the killing of the Canaanites...conveniently overlooking the fact that the Canaanites were truly horrible people...engaged in all sorts of perversions including child sacrifice to their idols, etc. Or they whine about the flood when God wiped out everyone but Noah's family...again missing the point that the sins of the people were a stench in God's nostrils. Or they point to the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah (recently uncovered by archaeologists, btw - another vindication of the historical accuracy of the Bible), and claim that God was unfair while completely ignoring the sinful lifestyle of the homosexual population of the cities that was the cause of God's wrath.

Infants died as well in those mass murders, and no, the Canaanites were not truly horrible people any more than anyone else living at that time was, and besides, one cannot possibly justify the murder of infants and young children.  But, I await your response!
