Also, most of the Ten Commandments are impossible to follow, Jesus condemns those who don’t like him, and Christian are - for the most part - thoroughly despicable people.
There’s more, but that’ll do to be going on with.

I know some complain about the wars in the old testament. But i always felt they were existential wars against Pagan religions basically. I dont blame all Communists just because Holodomor happened for example.
I don’t object to the wars in the OT. What I object to is the extermination of whole groups of people who happen to have the wrong imaginary friends. And the Israelite KNEW these friends were imaginary.
As Deese pointed out, there’s a difference between war and genocide.
