1. So it's ok to kill them because he was just showing off? There's no way an omniscient super-being could've possibly done that without massacring thousands of children? Is God that unimaginative?

Sure there may well have been other ways of doing it. I mean when we come forward to the time of Jesus he only ever performed signs of healing, and we see him as God.

2. What about all the other cases of children being killed in the Bible?

Well there are not that many cases out side of Moses books, and when Moses did conquer the lands it has to be seen in the context of cleansing the land, the bible made it very clear that certain nations were to be totally destroyed to remove their religious practices, religious practices that condoned sacrificing children to the fire, and many perverted acts. These nations if you belive the bible all knew about the miracles that had been done in egytp and greatly feared Israel. They could have repented, and some did. Or they could have left the lands as refugees, those who stayed were hardened God haters, who actually liked their lifestyles of sin.

3. On what authority do you say he would not have sent those kids to hell? Says who? You? How do you know this? Are we so privileged that our very own forums are visited by someone with access to God's thoughts and actions? How lucky are we?

Well once you actually get to know God you will know he is not some legalistic monster who demands people be put to death all the time, or sent to hell evey two seconds. The bible says God does not delight in the death of the wicked. How much less would he delight in the death of a youngster.

4. If he did send them to hell, would you condemn him for it?

Woah, that was a lot of question marks.

I know God is love, everything he does is in love, I don't know too many wicked babies, so I don't really think any of them went to hell. But if one did it would be by their choice alone, a choice to be evil, but this is just rediculous how can a child be evil.
