But you worship an angry, jealous deity. I would rather believe in a god of love, then one who self-admittedly deals with human emotions. If any modern country ran around wiping out as many cities as the Jews did "for God," everyone would unite to stop them, then prosecute them for war crimes. No war is justified, and any god that says they are is not benevolent. God should have loved everyone, and not just gave the Jews permission to wipe out their enemies. God could have just caused Ahab to fall down a set of stairs to get rid of him, but no, he let a massacre ensue. That is not benevolence, that is heartless favoritism. And that is not love, or reality.
God should love all man, and never "justify" a war, but he doesn't.
