Refuting Christians with their Own Bible

[Crossless2.0]

Divine command 'theory', put into practice, has never been anything other than the justification those who seek power use to push their agendas, while it has provided moral cover to their minions who end up doing the dirty work. Were the run-of-the-mill Jews (those not in the upper reaches of power) privy to their god's command or did they simply take the word of their leaders?

Are you seriously claiming that you know for a fact that 'Joshua/Samuel' weren't "confused"? Can you say for certain that the order for genocide wasn't part of a propaganda campaign, as opposed to a "real" divine command?

I cannot say for certain that the events of Joshua/Samuel happened with or without God's command or did indeed happen at all. So, hypothetically if God instructed...Divine Command Theory would apply.

Kudos for a refreshingly honest answer to my question. Few of our resident Christians would have answered thus.
