Treading a fine line, and opening up a door that they may wish they hadn't:
1. If genocide was acceptable to god then, and is now, god is a monster.
2. If genocide was acceptable to god then, but not now, clearly god's morality is not objective and eternal.
3. If genocide was neither acceptable then, nor now, then the bible is false.
4. If genocide was unacceptable then, and acceptable now.... well, nobody really argues that, do they? See #2.
Apologies to Epicurus for ripping off his paradox.
