Not sure if anyone caught the (infuriating to me) debate between Alex O’Connor and Dinesh Dsouza recently. One of the only things Dinesh brought up that made me pause was his comment on the indiscriminate bombing of Germany and civilian targets during world war 2. The parallel was claimed between that and the genocide in the Old Testament.
Wondering what people think of a simple response that the bombing in World War Two was to force Germany to surrender. The old testament wasn’t that as there seem to have been many small city states. I guess you could say that it was to force the other cities to surrender and leave the land. Not convinced with my response. Anything better?
Sticking this in this thread as the condemnation of the genocides is often objected to by non-religious people
