So they will go to great lengths to dismiss all the horrible atrocities spelled out in the Old Testament. Or they dismiss everything with, "If God did it, then it is good, no matter what it is" and "God is all powerful, so he has the right to do whatever he wants." The idea that might makes right must also mean that Kim Jong Un can do whatever he wants because he's an all-powerful dictator.
But the funny thing is that all Christians seem willing to accept an all-powerful god which can do whatever it wants, but they won't accept someone like that as leader of their government.
..And that is the thing I find so frightening about 'you people.' Is that you can yourself commit, live with and or support 'atrocities' far greater than anything ever recorded in the bible and literally have no clue what someone is talking about if they call your evil deeds by anything other than the name the popular culture has for it. And yet still think you are 'good' and therefore can judge the actions of any one or deity by your own example.
for instance, some website published a number of OT projected deaths.. being some where around 20 million people (being a high estimate.) google it.
Let's say it was 10x that amount and it was 200 million people.. that must make God really evil huh? Because death no matter the reason is always bad!
Unless you do it, then it is justified.
Like for instance the 1.5 BILLION Babies that have been aborted since 1973...
But again, not babies, fetus, and not kill abort, so that means because you use the latin term for baby rather than the english term it's now ok.
You Hypocrite, but again your not because you spun your actions inorder to justify your murder of babies...
That is what is frightening about the self righteousness of this and future generations... Nothing is sacred nothing is off limits.. Just need a reason and everything can be a target.
