Yes, what a narrow view to believe that torture and genocide should never be used to achieve a goal.

This is completely irrelevant, because no one in question "sacerficed" themselves. We are talking about the unlawful taking of lives in your god's name, and how you are trying to justify your god's indifference to it. Also, this statement makes it sound as if you are trying to justify it by saying, "Well, I'm sure if they had been asked, they would have gladly given their lives, wouldn't you?" This is as equally disgusting as your previous justification.

Sounds more like Christ is saying, "Shut up, and take what I give you," but even if we were to assume this is valid, what exactly are you doing to make yourself last?
