Why not?'Morality' is an ever changing standard from person to person, culture to culture and generation to generation. So the the question should be 'who's morality' are you suggesting God follow and why? Why does this 'morality' trump all others? What authority is your answer based on?
Quote:The first principle or morality is Harm/care of children. It is highlighted by the trait of compassion.If you had an oppertunity to Kill Adolph Hilter, Joesph Stallin, Hirohito/Emperor Shōwa, Mao Zedong, Kim Il sung as a Child knowing full well what they would accomplish as an adult, would you be obligated to kill them? Or would you wait till after these three men collibrated and kill 1/3 of the worlds population at the time they lived? would you sacerfice the lives of hundreds of millions for the sake of the philosphy you live by, or would you do something about it? what would your responsiablity be if you absolutly 100% knew that their was an entire race of people bent on the destruction of the world?
God ignores this throughout the bible by killing many of the weakest, most vulnerable and innocent, ---- children and babies.
God is showing a cowardly trait that contains no compassion or morality.
Children cannot be guilty of sin yet God kills them.
God is in a position to Judge our actions before we commit them. In the case of those races/clans He decided to wipe out He did so in order to perserve His chosen people. He knew that even if the imediate generation posed no threat, that one generation down the pike would. So in order to perserve His people and subsequently inorder to perserve the linage of Christ and salvation for the rest of the world some people (even children) had to die.
Quote:Yet those of the Abrahamic cults, Christians, Muslims and other believers, do not reject this cowardly and immoral God.Because we know not "all people are basically good." That all are intrinsically sinful and whether we die as a Child or as an old man we all still owe a death to the life we have been given, and it is up to our sovern God to tell us when our life is forefit.
Why not?
