Only God is justified.
I was asking how humans justify genocide.
Usually, they assert some sort of humanist, utilitarian...end justifies the means form of logic.
Come on. Stop deflecting.
Was the Enola Gay pilot justified in killing more people in Hiroshima than any soldier in Joshua's war against the Canaanites?
If the Nazis had been determined to fight to the very last man, woman and child, would their total annihilation by the Allies have been a necessary evil?
If Al Qaeda was a genetically discreet group/culture of people, would it be attempted genocide to wipe them out in a war on terror?
Why is God justified? More importantly - why do you worship him unless its out of fear?
I have no idea how humans justify genocide but usually its "in the name of......" Often that of is religion.
If Joshua had had the bomb, or if God had been smart enough to come up with one instead of throwing rocks, then you wouldn't have been able to ask.
You also might want to read up on the end of the second world war. The Nazi's fought till the last. The regime fell, street by street across Berlin, culminating in Hitler's bunker - it was only then that they surrendered.
If Al Quaeda was a genertically dicreet group.....????
