Hitler was genocidal and evil. Yahweh’s genocides are good; say Christians, Muslims &

[GrandizerII]

Note how persecution complex usually evolve into prosecution Complex.

Hmm. Jews did not invent inquisitions and jihads.

But you ARE playing with their ball. In order for the comparison of genocides to be valid, you have to presume both genocides are real. Since only one of them is, it’s kind of silly to take Christians to task for disapproving of the real genocide and approving of a fake one.

It is not fake to them. That is the point. They applaud it and try to justify it.

I figured I'd just light a match and see if anything burns.  

Fire is good.

I have been promoting more of that being used by the B.L.M. and the other oppressed groups that are demonstrating, mostly peacefully, as we speak in the U.S.

They have protested with peace for many years and a real smart guy said that to continue doing the same thing, while expecting a different outcome, is a sign of insanity.
 
To continue in peace, is insane, when their are no results.

Yes I am a privalidged white guy.

Christians who take the OT events literally, you mean. There's a big ass variety of Christians out there, and many mainstream Christians don't take certain accounts/passages from the OT literally.

And even for Christians who take these accounts literally, they don't necessarily think much about them or have skewed and selected ideas of what the OT says (based on what they're told by pastors and such).

And for those who do (often lazily) approve of genocide as depicted, some will nevertheless say God would never do this again because <insert reasoning to do with New Covenant or whatever>.

As for Muslims and Jews, similar thing. Large variety out there.

You have been talking to liars and I do not share their views.

Almost all Christians are literalists. One has to read the bible literally to some extent to believe in Jesus.

I do agree that Christians are weak Christians with beliefs all over the cherry picked map.

As to no more genocide!

What is Armageddon?

I said the OT, not the account of the Resurrection. For the most part, Christians can afford to select which passages to take literally or not because it isn't (or shouldn't be rather) about what a collection of books say literally. It's about the Gospel itself. Some Christians disagree and are sola scriptura literalists, others are literalists though not sola scriptura, others are about allegorism and symbolism in various accounts (especially in Genesis and even some of the later events, and some aren't exactly literalist about Revelation either).

Armageddon? Again, depends on whether it is taken literally, and if so, how it is interpreted.

So basically, you're in luck. You don't have to worry about Christians in general being awful people because there's a good chance many don't approve of an actual genocide as depicted in Bible. Depends on what flavor of Christian you're interacting with.
