What a non-answer! Of course your god was punishing David and others, that is obvious! The issue is the dickheadedness of punishing a completely innocent child in a horrid manner. Then presumably sending the kid to live in the fires of hell for all eternity for being sinful. Sucks to be that kid doesn't it?
Punishing the innocent is wrong, always! Why are christians so stubbornly stupid about this? If god has the omnipotence to punish in any imaginable way, why is he relegated to the barbarity of ancient middle easterners? Any of us could imagine better fitting punishments than killing an innocent kid. Only a stone age goat herder thinks that infanticide is a good idea.
You are a truly, deeply awful person if you think god was just in torturing this innocent child. I hope you are just using very strong cognitive dissonance in defending the evil god you worship.
As for downgrading christians, we don't sully them, they come here smelling like that, we just point out the obvious.
We'll now that child did not go to hell for his fathers sin, the kid is firmly sitting heaven with his father right now, but the death of the child was the fitting punishment for David's sin, sadly the child was forced to bear the fathers weight, but that's how life is today. If the father quits his job, how does that effect the child, the child is forced into hunger a the parents no longer have money to support the child, if they don't get another form Of income they would probably be kicked from their house
And no, we Christians come in with answers and kindness, then you treat us like this, that would be like me visiting your home, bringing good food, then you just beat me for it
