Moral justification for the execution of criminals of war?

"Kill 'em all, let God sort 'em out" was a phrase coined by a Christian too, which you seem perfectly comfortable with, albeit without the belief in post-life justice. You're still fine with killing folks even if you're not sure they're guilty of anything. And there's that whole Flood thing. It's almost like you're a closeted Christian, perfectly fine with killing innocents so long as it advances your moral outlook in this world.

That you have the nerve to lecture anyone else about morality is both amusing and pretty sad. You don't even know yourself.
