Special pleas, aisle 4.
Quote:I was asking how humans justify genocide.
Usually, they assert some sort of humanist, utilitarian...end justifies the means form of logic.
You justify it because you think your God ordered it and your god can do no wrong.
Quote:Come on. Stop deflecting.
Why, do you have exclusive rights?
Quote:Was the Enola Gay pilot justified in killing more people in Hiroshima than any soldier in Joshua's war against the Canaanites?
False equivocation. The Enola Gay wasn't on a mission to eradicate the Japanese race at the whim of a tyrannical overlord.
Quote: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?
No, because that's impossible and stupid.
Quote: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?
Yes, because that's also impossible and stupid.
Again, ask a Christian why an omni-smart and powerful God resorting to genocide is not an obvious example of barbaric bloodlust, and the best response you ever get is a comparison to non omni-everything humans, using examples with no real-world application. Why should anybody worship a god whose problem-solving skills are no better than theirs?
