This is the worst and most slanderous horse shit.
As a Christian, you have no grounds to say it is wrong. Worse still, if you accept the Bible as God's inerrant word, you must accept rape, slavery, torture, and genocide as good. Your own God encourages shit like this, when he is not doing it himself. It's all over the OT. You can practically open to any page of it and find an example. If you claim that these acts are wrong, you are implying that you worship an evil god. If you claim that God is good, you are implicitly tolerating all the crimes he is responsible for. As, of course, you certainly do. No amount of apologetic tapdancing can let you escape this fact.
Not bound by such slavish devotion to nonsense like that, the rest of us draw morality largely from our own capacity for empathy... a psychological feature Christian doctrine cares absolutely nothing for. Jesus stole the Golden Rule from people who think like we do.
