Christianity actually condones murder

[Astonished]

It says "thou", not "I".  Handled.  More blood for the bloodgod.  Unsurprising really, and in truth it didn't apply to most folks anyway.  You can't kill or murder livestock in the sense of this prohibition, and that's how the tribe that wrote that swell seeming gem saw other people.  Laying aside your modern sense of decency and hpocrisy, any questions of divine authority.....that their god exterminated other peoples wasn't a problem for them.  It was a solution.  While it doesn;t express any historical fact, it does expose a historical desire.

And is it only the smell of charred human flesh that pleases god or any animal's charred flesh?

Any deity that dictates morality on a basis of 'do as I say, not as I do' is unworthy of worship, admiration or love. Period. To consider this god to be lawful, loving and above reproach is to be the abused spouse in a relationship, deluding oneself with rose-colored glasses to see only the good through your black eye you were lucky enough to still keep after that last beating. And to deny to those who care for your well-being that anything at all is wrong, and also demand that we give that abusive partner the same adoration you have. To fail to understand this is the real problem. The refusal to see things as the non-theists do, that part is the most confusing to me. Defending the idea of a loving god when it clearly isn't that, I can only assume the fear of being guilty of the unforgivable sin of apostasy is what's keeping people from questioning it in that way, and isn't it sad that a kind and loving god has to resort to such blackmail to keep his little prison bitches in line.
