That the people who were given over to be wiped out, possed a great threat to the nation of Israel. This should also be made evident when a kill order was given and was not carried out. Often times the hand full of women and Children return in just a few generations to war with or capture and enslave Israel. God's purpose here was to protect the line of Christ and to full fill His promise. (without changing the will of those who apposed Him and or His people.) They and their children died with their wills intact.
While rationalization of mass murder is what I expected from you, it does carries a fascinating implication: to claim that Jesus died for our sins is completely irrelevant, regardless of whether or not it actually happened.
Not only does this demonstrate, yet again, that you worship a bloodthirsty monster, but also an incompetent bungler (to protect Jesus' bloodline should require God to protect individuals, not the entire nation of Israel), it also means that Jesus sacrifice is not unique at all. There were countless millions of completely innocent children, toddlers, infants and unborn who died, according to you, for the sole reason that Jesus could one day live. They all died for my sins every bit as much as Jesus.
You've managed to show that your faith is even more fraudulent than I ever imagined.
