I find it highly disturbing the excuses some xtians are willing to make for human suffering. Seriously. Disturbing.
Just be thankful that the Paradigm of Genocide, rape and slaughter ended at the Cross with Old Covenant, and Now Christians are call to forgiveness, and to turn the other cheek. For it is much easier to tap into righteous anger and indignation than it is to forgive. I feel it is twice the effort to turn the other cheek willingly than it takes to strike back. But, because the same God who commanded the Jews to righteously carry out genocide rape, and looting has also called All Christians to follow the example Christ lived.
If you are truly looking to learn then take in the whole picture and not just the bits that you can use to fuel a self righteous attitude.

Again you can be as 'moral' as you soceity deems morality to be. Again 'Morality' is derived from one's own personal standard of righteousness or Self righteousness as Christ Identified it.
What you can not be is Truly righteous. Or Godly righteous. None of us can that is why we need Christ.
