How do you reconcile your god, the mass murderer?

IKR?  It went well for Joe, though.  Laying aside what we think of mormonism today, it obviously spoke to alot of people then.  The same has always been true of these myths.  They're created with the audience in mind, and their success or failure depends upon how well they've tapped into the pulse of that culture and time.  Their maintenance requires that the culture remain static, that the myth change, or that someone compel adherence in the absence of conformity between the myth and the culture as it is.

Our boy Star here, his church provides all three of these services.  Churches by their nature promote traditional normativism, his has turned the failed apocalyptic message of the NT into a global conspiracy more relevant to the internet tinfoil times we live in, and finally....it holds out the rod and the carrot.    

@star.

You seem unable to decide whether or not the narratives exist as described to be justified and reinterpreted in a friendlier light.  If you trust the interpretations, then trust them.  God commands his people to ethnic cleansing with a side of sex trafficking as a reward for their service.  Incensed that they fail to wholly carry out this attempted genocide (rather than that they engaged in it) he punishes his shock troops.  

These are the actions of a war criminal, who orders a regiment of men to raze a city in a particularly brutal fashion, and then disciplines his soldiers for displaying even the tiniest amount of compassion in contradiction to his orders.  That, is the accurate translation..which you trust, of the actions and motivations of the god you worship and a description of one of the "failures" of his chosen people.  Which, for reference, aint you.... it's Teh Jews.

NT god hasn't changed his mind on this, though "Paul" tries to change it for him. "Jesus" is every bit as tribal and ethnocentric; Do foreign bitches even deserve miracles, do you reckon? Probably not, but we can feed them scraps from our table.

So sayeth the lord.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
