I'm shocked. SHOCKED.
Tell us again why you don't mind worshipping a mass-murderer, while at the same time decrying what you assert as a "murder" to be immoral.
I'll wait ... you seem to be in "defensive dithering" mode, but that's okay, I'm used to it coming from you.
Uh, I haven't ignored anything, murder is defined as "the UNLAWFUL PREMEDITATED killing of a human being". Last time I looked capital punishment was not murder.
Context is everything...
Every single time I prove an atheists position on scripture wrong by using the very same scripture; they always revert back to, "we don't believe in God", well guess what? I'm not the one that started the thread. There for if you don't believe in God, then you obviously don't believe God committed any "mass murders".
Now if you want to provide any specific "evidence" where YOU believe God committed mass murder then let's see it; and In return I'll show you according to scripture why it's not "mass murder"... Deal?

I don't care if it's commonly referred to as an "unborn child" it isn't an unborn child, it's not a child at all, it's not even a fully developed baby yet, it's a fetus.
I gave you the medical definition, which defined a fetus as "unborn offspring", human offspring ARE children, but I see you opt to ignore medical definitions when it's convenient.
Just so were clear, are you saying that an unborn has no right to live? By what authority does one make this determination?
Capital punishment, when carried out unjustly, is murder.
Of course, if you're going to defend your god's mass murders with the idea that he made the law, then you're simply asserting subjective morality.
You're still left with choosing between worshipping an evil god, or defending subjective morality.
Have at it!
ETA: I don't actually believe in gods, but am treating the bible as true for the sake of this conversation. And ... I didn't start this thread.
