That totally depends on the situation, take your God for example, the biggest merciless killer in the whole universe if that book's to be believed.
Does that make it irrational, or rational?
Regardless of the situation, merciless killing is irrational. I am aware that the Bible speaks in different places about God's association or direct command of killing "without mercy" , and I am aware that this poses a great difficulty for me. I can't make sense of it (because it seems irrational). What can I say?
